WI is not & never has been a stand your ground state. Zimmerman did not claim stand your ground. You're still clueless.

Wrong. Zimmerman decided against an immunity hearing & chose to claim self defense at trial, putz.

A person has no duty to retreat and can use deadly force if they reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent bodily harm or death, that is the law he was backed up with, google it.

I'm aware of the stand your ground principles. Zimmerman never claimed stand your ground & waived an immunity hearing. His defense at trial was always based on self defense.

But the law was essentially used as his self defense argument. I rest my case

I haven't seen you post one source to support your claim. The words "stand your ground" do not appear in the jury instructions. Are you going to question that source too? law2.umkc.edu/faculty/proj...

Take it up with conservative attorney Mathew Nichols.

In addition to being wrong about the jury instructions in the Zimmerman case/trial, you were wrong about WI being a stand your ground state & Rittenhouse shooting black people. I stand by my original statement. You're clueless.

Why? You cited the jury instructions as proof. You were wrong. Own it.

You may want to read the written jury instructions in the Zimmerman trial.

The confusion about SYG & Zimmerman is from the statue he relied upon in his defense 776.012. That statute contains both a pretty standard description of self-defense & it adds you don't have to retreat. Zimmerman never relied on the SYG part, just the standard self-defense part.

Zimmerman was pinned to the ground by Martin in what a witness described as a "ground and pound" position, so retreat wasn't really an option. Stand Your Ground didn't apply.
