So ABC news is your go to?
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.
I did. You're still wrong.
Ok
The words "stand your ground" do not appear anywhere in the jury instructions. Otherwise, PROVE IT. law2.umkc.edu/faculty/proj...
@bluemarlinhunter.bsky.social ⬇️ I rest my case. 😁
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.
