Do you think that's why Zimmerman didn't simply testify at a Stand Your Ground immunity hearing, Six? Over 70% of the time, immunity from prosecution is granted in those cases.
Do you think that George is lying about standing his ground against attack, as he claims now? Do you think that self defense instead applies because George will claim at trial that he was in fear for his life after he started a losing fight with the 17 year old and be covered by self defense?
Just curious.
I think Z didn't want to testify because he would no doubt have said something to get tripped up on and give the prosecution a way to beat his version. Z probably was in fear for his life when the kid was beating his ass. He did several stupid things with the wrong kid. The kid jumped his ass and was beating the shit out of him, thug style, just wailing, no proper attack strategy. Z got his weapon and probably legaly put a stop to it.
