My opinion about the Zimmerman case matters no more than yours,

their son.

It is up to the jury to decide if he was murdered or not. My
guess
is not.


It's Florida, where it is perfectly ok to stalk someone physically,
force a confrontation, and when you are called out on it, shoot the
person you confronted.

That's the version thay you and some of the mass media seem to
prefer,
but I haven't heard any trial testimony to that effect. You and Al
Sharpton can go start riots together after the verdict is rendered.


The stand your ground defense isn't being used in the Zimmerman murder
case.

----------------------------------------

True, he waived his right to a stand your ground defense to be
determined without benefit of a jury. He retains the right to
exercise it as a defense at a later date, according to his attorneys.
It was considered a strategic move by his attorneys to avoid having it
rejected by a judge.

However, when it all comes down to it, the only difference is that a
jury will decide if the shooting and killing of Martin was justified
as self defense as opposed to a judge making the determination.
