Original Note:
The "Stand Your Ground" law in Florida was not used in Zimmerman's defense, but it did affect the instructions the judge gave the jury. It is correct that Martin's death and the subsequent trial prompted a national discussion on such laws. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Trayvon_Martin#%22Stand_your_ground%22_laws
