Zimmerman Shooter Will Use ‘Stand Your Ground’ Defense
[su_publirb]
The Florida man charged with shooting George Zimmerman will use the “Stand Your Ground” defense.
Such a defense would entitle Matthew Apperson to a hearing, ahead of his trial, during which a judge would decide if he deserves immunity from prosecution because he feared imminent death or bodily injury. Apperson was charged earlier this month with aggravated assault and battery for firing a gun into Zimmerman’s car during a traffic run-in. Zimmerman had minor injuries.
Zimmerman’s defense attorneys had considered asking for a “Stand Your Ground” hearing when the former neighborhood watch leader faced a second-degree murder charge for the February 2012 fatal shooting of Martin, but they instead opted to go straight to a traditional criminal trial.

Why do they keep saying the GZ was shot? He wasn’t hit by a bullet but rather pieces of glass from a shattered window. Had the bullet actually hit him it would have probably hit him in the head which I wish had happened. Maybe next time GZ won’t be so lucky….

But it would not have hit any vital organs.

If it hit him in the ass it would have been fatal, but the head wouldn’t make any difference if it was hit by a .44 Magnum.

If you want to claim “stand your ground” do it right and take this a$$wipe out.

I bet every morning Zimmerman wakes up and wonders if this is going to be the day someone kills him.

More like “Squat your ass”…
But in this instance, I’m actually rooting for the guy.
