SYG does not apply in this case. Nobody who understands that law believes it does.

HORSE HOCKEY! However I believe the judge will decide against George, but only for political unethical reasons.

The legal Scholars I listen to believe George has a great case for stand your ground!

The only people who bring it up are those who want to repeal it. It hasn’t been claimed nor has it been even suggested by anyone other than those who would have it destroyed. The Left doesn’t like it so the MSM trumpets their cause like obedient servants...............

The SYG law, in addition to "stand your ground," created the opportunity to have a self-defense hearing ahead of the trial, rather than forcing the crime victim to go through the agony and expense of a trial in order to prove self-defense. This is what they're talking about - they're using SYG as shorthand, in effect.

You're saying that SYG isn't NECESSARY to defend Zimmerman's actions if his story is correct, but would it not still apply in the sense that it could short circuit a full trial and also provide a civil liability shield (if FLA's SYG has that feature)?

Your ignorance, so clearly displayed is embarrassing. Any attempt to explain the law would obviously be futile. Did you even read the article? Its not a bad summary of an SYG IMMUNITY hearing.

Just in case you’re actually interested in facts see FL Stats. 776.032 then check FindLaw for the appellate case Peterson vs. State of Florida which established the SYG trial procedures later affirmed by the FL S.Ct.

Too taxing? Google “How to boil water”, master that then get back to me and we’ll proceed with tougher concepts. Sheesh!
