A criminal defense attorney at TalkLeft has
gone through most of the released discovery in the Zimmerman case and argues "Zimmerman should prevail on classic self-defense at trial regardless of stand your ground. Raising stand your ground before trial gives him the possibility of a quicker win, and the opportunity to preview the state's strategy before it gets to a jury."
Pretty much what I was thinking as well. Once he apparently turned around and disengaged following Martin, he ceased being the aggressor. Thus, returned to a self defense mode. IF Martin attacked him, and the statements about him pummeling Zimmerman MMA style are true, then it definitely falls under self defense.
However, the issue that is going to happen? Who wants to wager we have riots if he's found innocent? And how many people will get shot in that instance?
