I don’t recall stand your ground as being raised in the Zimmerman trial.

"I don’t recall stand your ground as being raised in the Zimmerman trial."

"Stand your ground" is persistently used when it doesn't apply.

Self-defense immunity is not stand your ground.

"Stand your ground" doesn't have to be raised, it's part of the self-defense law covering whether a defender has a duty to retreat.

Neither this case nor the Zimmerman case were "stand your ground" cases, because neither involved an opportunity to retreat.
