"Stand your ground" only applies when a person is choosing between the option to retreat, and the option to stand ground. If Zimmerman was overwhelmed by superior force, then he doesn't have the option of retreat available. The issue becomes whether or not he is justified in resort to deadly force; not whether or not he had a right to stand his ground.
Which of the two was closing distance? That's the question I would ask. My impression is that Zimmerman had given up any chase. He had given up on closing distance with Martin.
Thank you for interjecting sanity into so many of these threads. The misinformation and disinformation is maddening, I appreciate your patience.
Zimmerman tells the police dispatcher he’s lost Martin.
Martin tells his girlfriend he’s lost Zimmerman.
How did Zimmerman confront Martin when he didn’t even know where Martin was?
