My understanding is that SYG removes the requirement to retreat if it safely possible before self-defense with deadly force is allowed. Since there presumably no safe retreat available at the time Zimmerman used deadly force (since he was pinned to the ground) then self-defense was allowed with or without SYG.
Exactly...bingo! This is a case of pure self defense against deadly force by a perpetrator. The local PD figured that out over-night.
the State AG is looking to make a name and it is political IMHO, and she is going to lose.
Holder will also make it political if he thinks he can...and to further agitate the minorities and his people like Jackson, Sharpton, and the New Black Panthers. But that case will fail too if they seat an impartial jury.
Exactly, it’s a self-defense case. SYG has some provisions re: procedure and civil liability that might apply, but that’s it. But when the chattering heads start out with their own manufactured scenario, then try to jam the facts into it, the fact that they don’t fit doesn’t dissuade them.
