Given that you were not even aware that your own state has a "stand your ground" statute, I'm not willing to believe any interpretation of either Florida law or Washington law that you might offer up.

Kenneth, In WA, Zimmerman would have been prosecuted and would have to sell his story of self defense to a jury. In Fl, the burden of proof is on the state to disprove the claim of self defense.


Many individuals do not understand how important the "burden of proof," change from the plaintiff to the defendant is in a legal case or visa versa.

Kenneth, you know that the burden of proof lies with the state...there is good reason for that.
