walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[Adub]

What the Jury will have to decide on is whether or not Z was inside the law or not as it applies to self defense and SYG. The SYG part of the law here is vague enough that Z can probably make the case that he is good to go.

That is a good post.

I don't pretend to be the voice of reason, I'm not. I don't like George & it colors how I feel about all this.

Too bad he missed the part where George decided to forego SYG. I'm sure Zimmerman will get his self-defense jury instruction, but, he is going to have a hell of a time convincing a jury that he was not the initial aggressor.

George's attorney has already thrown out to the media two little tidbits.

One, in order for Trayvon to be considered the initial aggressor, the defense has to show evidence that Trayvon had a propensity for violence. And text messages and fight videos will not be enough.

And two, that the yells for help, if George, indicate that George was trying to retreat.

So why is O'Mara implying, and not just through the media, but also through discovery, that George had a duty to retreat? SYG gives George no duty to retreat. But yet, O'Mara wants to prove that the big fat liar tried to retreat, and was prevented from doing so by the violent prone thug that George outweighed by 50lbs?

The reason is simple, the initial aggressor does have a duty to retreat. And O'Mara knows that George was the initial aggressor.
