That is all irrelevant to a self defense case. If Zimmerman can
demonstrate that he had a fear of great bodily harm he has the right
to use deadly force.
The state has said they don't have evidence that he was in pursuit of
Martin at the time of the confrontation
They don't have proof that martin did not initiate the confrontation
and they don't have evidence that Martin did not attack Zimmerman.
It is actually unclear under the stand your ground law whether the
alleged pursuit and initiating the contact would deny Zimmerman of the
right to self defense.
I've said from the beginning a national boycott of Florida would be a
way to pressure the state to dump the idiotic stand your ground law. I
hope that happens, and the idea and support for it gains ground.
I'm sure Floridans would be pleased if you personally boycotted the state.
