Zimmerman didn't claim self defence, and so the burdon of proof rested on the state to prove murder. If Zimmerman had claimed self defence it's highly likely he would be in prison now.
The world is a better place with T in the ground.
Actually.., yes he did.
George Zimmerman, set to stand trial in the 2012 shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin, on Tuesday waived his right to a "stand your ground" pretrial immunity hearing. Zimmerman's attorneys have decided they will try this as a self-defense case.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain, acknowledged that he shot the unarmed 17-year-old, but said Martin physically attacked him and he fired in self-defense. Initially, no charges were pursued, and the case soon became the center of a national controversy.
