Some people are under the misimpression that the stand your ground law is in play in this trial but it is not. The defense is going for self defense and if the defense decides they want to put forward a defense...one thing that will probably be put forward...is that Zimmerman did not use his gun just because he was on the losing end of a fight...but because during the scuffle his jacket had slid up exposing his gun and Martin was going for the gun.
