“The part of the Stand Your Ground law that says there is no duty to retreat from anyplace you lawfully are does not apply. So, the “stand your ground” part of the Stand Your Ground law is inapplicable.”
Please explain why it doesn't apply?
I think it does and so does his Lawyer.
The reason Zimmerman has no duty to retreat under his circumstance is that he cannot retreat. He is being restrained despite efforts to free himself. "Retreat" is not available to him, at that point. Even if there was a duty to retreat (there isn't), he would not have to overcome a contention that he had an opportunity to retreat and did not take it.
When O'Mara says "Stand your Ground" applies, he means that Zimmerman is entitled to assert the immunity statute that is bundled in the set of statutes that, as a group, is referred to as "Stand your Ground."
