Original Note:
This photo is of a much younger 14yr old Trayvon who was 17 at the time of his death. Stand your ground was not used by the defense as a claim, instead Self Defense was the justification due to Martin attacking Zimmerman. Finally there is no “shoot first” law. https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2012/the-iconic-photos-of-trayvon-martin-george-zimmerman-why-you-may-not-see-the-others/ https://abcnews.go.com/US/floridas-stand-ground-law-determine-zimmerman-dunn-cases/story?id=22543929 http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/zimmerman1/zimmermanaccount.html
