Since Zimmerman claims to have been sucker punched and gone down, how does this law even enter into this case?

Kind of hard to retreat while supine, I agree. You've already given as much ground as the circumstances allow. IMO.

It's been my impression that from the start of all the hoopla over this, the FIRST people to bring up the SYG law was the media. They questioned whether this event would impact the validity of that law. After that, all the idiot talking heads and those two perpetually outraged bimbos carried the ball re SYG.
