[[In stand-your-ground does a person have to wait until they are on the ground being beaten, like George Zimmerman, before it becomes justified?]]
I do not believe so- I think there just has to be a ‘reasonable perception’ that ‘imminent personal injury or death may happen’
But i am not sure on this- I do know that the zimmerman case should have been a no brainer- clearly justified case of self defense- getting one’s head smashed into concrete repeatedly is cause enough- it was an attempted murder of George- there was no ambiguity- trayvon was using the concrete as a deadly weapon
“I think there just has to be a reasonable perception that imminent personal injury or death may happen”
I think you’re right.
This is why I don’t know how listers on this thread can be so certain that the shooting was not justified or SYG.
