Well there goes his 'Stand your ground' defense. Besides what Zimmerman already admitted to the operator, the law clearly states you cannot PURSUE the individual. If anyone was trying to stand his ground- it was the victim.

And why does george zimmerman sound drunk on the 911 call? I thought at first maybe his speech was just naturally slow and somewhat slurred. Because, I know someone who is mildly retarded from getting hit by a car as a child who speaks the same way. But other than his speech he is completely normal.

But after hearing the other 911 recordings of calls made by george zimmerman on previous occasions that have now been released. His speech appears to be normal in those phone calls and he is very articulate when talking. He isn't slurring his words in those calls to 911. Does anyone else notice that this guy sounds like he may have been intoxicated?

The laws governing self-defense with firearms are based on how most people would have reacted in the same situation. George clearly did not do what the average person would've done in this situation.

Sad it happened and I wonder why he was carrying a gun myself.

Latino/Hispanic is not a race, it a ethnicity.

Default Update Case Going to Grand Jury Review. Finally


Trayvon Martin 911 Call - YouTube

Arresting Zimmerman is not enough.

The reason for the cover-up should be investigated thoroughly as well.

The local police are obviously corrupt and this might lead to some deeper connections.

Maybe they all belong to the same klan?

There's more here than they are telling, for sure.

Why is it shocking that a neighborhood watch person would be drunk and carrying a gun?

In other states yes, in Florida NO.

Did anyone else hear that one of the cops dispatched to the scene last name was zimmerman?

I saw a snippet of it on a blog but haven't heard it anywhere else so it may not mean anything.

Default More on stand your ground law horrible law

Does Florida law let killers go free? - CNN.com

Editor's note: Jeffrey Toobin is a senior legal analyst for CNN and a staff writer at The New Yorker magazine, where he covers legal affairs.

(CNN) -- Trayvon Martin went out to buy some Skittles -- and was shot dead before he made it home. The case is horrifying, maddening, grotesque. And -- perhaps worst of all -- there may be nothing Florida law

The two NRA toadies who pushed for this law have doubts about Zimmerman.
