Writing about this topic hits home to me,not because I was directly involved with this case it is because I have a younger brothers that would have fit the description of Trayvon Martin that night.
It was not until the unfortunate killing of the young teen that I learned about the "Stand your ground" law. "Stand your ground law constitutes of a person presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent danger or great bodily harm to himself or another person,when using or threatening to use a defensive force that is intended or likely to cause death or bodily harm" George Zimmerman claimed to say that he shot Trayvon in self defense, to me that excuse is not justifiable because there was no evidence that the young teen was carrying a weapon.
