I think you spelled his name wrong.
Isn’t it Wiener Hartenberger?

“Stand Your Ground” had nothing to do with it.GZ’s injuries combined with the testimony of several eyewitnesses (or “earwitnesses”) clearly show that GZ had reason to fear serious injury,if not death.Under *those* circumstances GZ was fully justified,legally *and* morally,to do what he did,not having any reasonable hope of defending himself using anything less than letal force.

The right of self-defense, however, is neither absolute nor unconditional. It remains the responsibility of the defendant, supported by evidence, to demonstrate that what he did was necessary to insure his safety or avoid great bodily harm. In the absence of such evidence ...the right to self-defense may be successfully challenged

The statement might be true in abstract or even in its practical effect but as a statement of law is questionable because it implies that the burden of proof shifts to the defendant to prove his use of self-defense was justified. It may vary with jurisdictions but in Florida, at least, the burden stays with the prosecutor.

"...or that no lives were saved that fateful night."
Except for George Zimmerman's.
