Stand Your Ground Defense Planned By Man Accused Of Shooting George Zimmerman

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — An attorney for a Florida man charged with shooting at George Zimmerman said Friday that he planned to use a "Stand Your Ground" defense — the same legal strategy considered but ultimately not used by lawyers for the former neighborhood watch leader who was acquitted in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin.

Such a defense would entitle Matthew Apperson to a hearing, ahead of his trial, during which a judge would decide if he deserves immunity from prosecution because he feared imminent death or bodily injury. Apperson was charged earlier this month with aggravated assault and battery for firing a gun into Zimmerman's car during a traffic run-in. Zimmerman had minor injuries.

Zimmerman's defense attorneys had considered asking for a "Stand Your Ground" hearing when the former neighborhood watch leader faced a second-degree murder charge for the February 2012 fatal shooting of Martin, but they instead opted to go straight to a traditional criminal trial.


oh the sweet irony!

LIbs just say stuff. Then their buddies tell them they are clever.

That's the end of it.

You call them on it, they get testy.

Maybe one day you'll learn to think before you post absurdity. It's a longshot but I guess there's always hope.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Stand your ground wasn't used by Zimm's defense, so there's really no irony here as the OP wants you to believe.

If you'd read the OP, you'd know that he said that.

and you then ignored it by pointing out the "irony" of the situation, when Zim never used the defense, thus negating any irony.
