Zimmerman Defense Lawyers Won't Argue 'Stand-Your-Ground' In Florida Shooting Case

The attorney for the man who shot and killed unarmed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin said Monday he'll seek to get the case dismissed using a traditional self-defense argument and not the state's "stand your ground" statute.
Mark O'Mara, who is defending George Zimmerman against a second-degree murder charge in the fatal February shooting, said the traditional self-defense approach is appropriate because the facts suggest his client couldn't retreat from a beating Martin was giving him.

O'Mara has chosen the only intelligent defense.Highly unlikely that Zimm will get off scott free on this,but at least there is a workable plan.

1010-He will not be convicted. The only eye witness backs up his story and saw trayvon on top of Zimm beating him "mma style". Open and shut case that was only brought due to political pressure.
