SYG instructions directly contradict the manslaughter instructions and THAT is what confused the jurors who wanted manslaughter. The victim can never win in that scenario because his fear of harm that triggered his reaction to fight is immediately tossed out from being deliberated the moment he dies. ONLY the statements of fear by the shooter as dictated by the Stand Your Ground instructions is allowed to be deliberated because the only person who can express what they felt at the MOMENT of the shooting is the living shooter.
Thousands of child predators in Florida were undoubtedly watching the Zimmerman defense case play out. That verdict was a win/win for them. Target boys between 12-18, if they fight you can shoot them and offer a bloody nose to claim you HAD to defend yourself from that teen punk who jumped you. If they DON'T fight because they know you can now legally shoot them if they do, that's even better for them.
The young victim can NEVER win in SYG case because their fear that caused them to fight will be immediately TOSSED OUT of the jury deliberation rooms in order to accommodate the Stand Your Ground instructions to the jury, giving all the weight to the storyline of the shooter.
This verdict has unleashed hell.
