looks like you can, in florida. thats pretty much exactly what the police claimed.
one good thing that will come of this is a much closer investigation of stand your ground cases, all over the country.
and zimmerman is pretty much fucked, no matter what else happens, he threw away his life when he shot that teenager. so, possibly an object lesson there for future neighborhood watch types.
for a month he thought he was free and clear - then the mediastorm him him from behind. he will be haunted now for the rest of his life, as will that town, and hopefully those police.
in another few months we will have the investigation results - that should be interesting.
I think the kids parents have a decent chance at a civil ruling against the police and the town. Lawyers will be lining up to press those cases, lots of money and fame there.
