A SYG was not granted so it is not an SYG case
B Zimmerman didn't claim SYG so neither was it.
C All they have in common is that neither is a SYG case.
D SYG never applies when the other guy is LE

A Zimmermans lawyers were considering SYG
B So why did many on here claim he had the right to kill Martin under SYG
C All they had in common was some dude with a gun playing cop
D Tell me something I dont know.

A Considered doesn't count
B Doesn't matter what many on here claimed it was legitimate under standard self defense
C No in one case it was a true vigilante, in the other a citizen doing his duty.
D You don't seem to know that this takes SYG out of the conversation.

More importantly, 776.032 provides for immunity from prosecution for any act of self defense, including self defense covered by traditional, pre-SYG laws. Which is why O'Mara for some time insisted that even though colloquially Florida called it a "Stand Your Ground" hearing, that it was inaccurate, as the facts of the case had nothing to do with SYG.

That hearing may still happen too. If any lawsuit gets filed against George in the next half a year, they'll motion for an immunity hearing per 776.032, and it still won't be a "SYG" hearing.

Are you suggesting someone who is conservative cannot also be a militant environmentalist?

Did people also forget this part of his manifesto?

Now he wants the state to pay for his defense.

As does Zimmerman (I am sure he told Georgie the law) but is doing it on his behalf and it is a sniveling distinction without a difference.

I hope the judge denies.

Are you pretending that because he was violent he could not be a leftist?

Punishing those who violated his left wing beliefs.
Far more a vigilante than a man defending himself.

Not wishing to get mod slapped twice in one day......... The idea of the Unibomber being leftist is risible.

True, of course it would help Zimmerman.
I don't know, does Florida law provide for paying part of the defense when the defendant is acquitted?
Zimmerman should be treated the same as any other acquitted defendant.

The money Zimmerman's team hopes to recover includes only legal expenses such as hiring courtroom experts, court reporter fees for witness depositions and some travel expenses.

No Florida law allows attorneys to recover their fees from the state, Vincent said.

So if I understand correctly the law allows for them to recoup expenses for those things you listed but not for legal fees.
Thanks for the clearing this up.

Yep. Since those costs are already paid for through donations, whatever the court reimburses can be kept by O'Mara and West. And as stated, IMO they deserve every penny they can get reimbursed.
