[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2239929, member: 42"] For the sake of a legal discussion. Please cite the applicable Florida statute that allows one to stand their ground and/or assault someone who is following them. I can follow you around all day long, if you are walking in a public place, and be within the law. The moment you stop and assault me because I'm following you, you are outside of the law. IF Zimmerman had attacked Martin, I would agree that "those same laws also protect Martin.." But there is [I]zero[/I] evidence that Zimmerman assaulted Martin and [I]initiated[/I] the physical fight. Lots of folks are using the fact that Zimmerman followed Martin as justification for convicting him of murder. While I think it was stupid of him to follow Martin, it doesn't mean he is guilty of murder in the resulting physical altercation [I]unless the prosecution can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman initiated the physical assault.[/I] [/QUOTE]
