Original Note:
While Florida does have a “Stand Your Ground” type law, George Zimmerman’s defense did not seek dismissal of the charges based upon that law. Additionally since Zimmerman had been knocked to the ground (as evidenced by his injuries) he would not have been able to retreat. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Trayvon_Martin https://amp.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/apr/2/debunking-the-stand-your-ground-myth/ https://www.al.com/live/2013/07/george_zimmerman-trayvon_marti.html
