self defense is Zimmermans claim but we really dont' know if that is true either

how do we know that Zimmerman didn't try to detain Martin (who was supposedly trying to get away from Zimmerman prior to their confrontation)

just because Zimmerman has a scrape on his head doesn't prove his life was in danger or that he wasn't the agressor or that he was justified in using deadly force

hopefully a trial will answer all of those questions

Thats of course the trials job to answer those questions.
I was simply stating that the "stand your ground law" doesnt apply in the situation that Zimmerman described.

I hope you're right about that

By definition, it does not apply. Thats not to say that a general self defense law may apply, but the specific "stand your ground law" is inapplicable I believe.

you have no way to know that statement is true

if he confronted, challenged and instigated a confrontation then I don't see how "stand your ground" applies

as I've said for I think the 4th time now no one knows how their "meeting" ended in Martin being shot to death
agreed and neither do you, all i am doing is making assumptions same as you ;)

Is the defense using the stand your ground law?
