[QUOTE="Stephen Cue, post: 1770729, member: 3008"] I feel that [B]IF[/B] Zimmerman was fleeing and [B]IF[/B] Martin attacked him, SYG does not apply. His defense is stronger without it [B]IF[/B] that is what happened. Prior to SYG, one's first obligation when threatened with assualt was to retreat. SYG allows one to not be burdened with an obligation to retreat and to literally 'stand his or her ground and meet force with force when attacked'. So unless Zimmerman lied about fleeing and "stood his ground" when he shot Martin, SYG doesnt apply IMHO. I do not like misconception about what the law means, the media is fusing SYG with an idiotic notion that is allows people to use deadly force without a threat to sever bodily harm or death. [/QUOTE]
