In May, Circuit Judge Debra Nelson, who has taken over the George Zimmerman murder case, rejected the "stand your ground" claim of a 21-year-old Sanford man who was charged with murder.

A month later, a Seminole County jury acquitted him.

That case, Florida v. Kishawn Jones, is important because it could signal what's ahead for Zimmerman, the 28-year-old Neighborhood Watch volunteer who killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old.

1. After this new judge was appointed I believe I posted

that I thought it was a mistake on the part of the defense to get the old judge thrown out and that they may have made it harder to make their case.

2. Poor Zimmie isn't going to slither out of this one!

3. Why do you think that?

The verdict will be handed down by a jury.

Read the OP. The judge didn't accept a SYG defense and the guy walked anyway.

4. Be that as it may,

Zimmerman and his attorney have no intention of using the SYG defense.
