Again, a “stand your ground” hearing is different from a “stand your ground” defense. A “stand your ground” hearing can take place in ANY case where the defense is asserting an affirmative defense of self defense (as Zimmerman is here).

Do you believe that this judge would have dismissed this case at an immunity hearing???

No way would this (or likely, any) judge have dismissed the charges against Zimmerman based on the politically charged “stand your ground” defense. That was never politically feasible. You have to know that. The result of a “stand your ground” hearing would only have been a loss for Zimmerman and a “win” for the scumbags - - and it would have provided momentum for the scumbags.

Zimmerman’s lawyers were wise to give the scumbags the finger and waive the freak show they so desperately wanted.
It’s when I knew Zimmerman’s lawyers were serious about winning.
