re: #63 Targetpractice

AFAIK, an SYG hearing has been scheduled for April, with the formal trial (assuming it happens) scheduled for June.

Though the hearing is called a “Stand Your Ground Hearing”, that is because the SYG law provides for it. SYG still would not apply if Zimmerman’s claims are correct (Note: I am not saying that they are, I’m just explaining the situation). If Zimmerman was in fact pinned on the ground by Martin, then he would have the legal right to use force to stop Martin’s assault in any state in the Union. If escape from an assailant is impossible, then it is lawful to use deadly force to stop the assault.
