[Azeem]

The actual law of Florida is that “a person is justified in the use of deadly force” if “(1) He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself

I'm confused by this writer. Unless bouncing someone's head off a sidewalk is a new game, it will definitely cause great bodily harm.

That Trayvon was bouncing George’s head off the ground is not at present a fact as determined by a court.

It is the defendant’s story of what happened. And it may be supported by witnesses.

It may very well also be the truth. But in other cases I’ve noticed around here a certain shall we say resistance to assuming everything the defendant says is the whole truth.
