to examine real quick thing under two hundred seven is skipping this stand
your ground hearing after all this
and saying we will have this pretrial hearing about whether stand your ground
can or cannot be used as a defense in the killing of trade on martin
george zimmerman
and his attorneys stunned a lot of core observers by saying we're gonna skip the
hearing we're just going to skip it now it's possible that they could then have
another speaker ask for another stand your ground hearing before the actual
trial starts
really what may be going on here and some experts are saying with some legal
experts are suggesting what's going on here is
stand your ground may not fly
and if they go to the hearing and the judge says no no this is not stand your
ground
that this is going to negatively affect
the trial which will eventually happen
which then will not be able to use stand your ground as a defense and of course
are understand
the jury would completely disregard that and they would just analyze it is the
judge directs them
but we know how these things can affect
uh... jurors and more importantly the zimmerman attorneys have been trying
this thing in the media all along
and the media response would certainly not be favorable to zimmerman if they
get a no-go on standard ground
sounds like the defense is going to be self-defense right on the they've right
on the other hand
some say well he's clearly going to be vindicated by the trial and the attorney
doesn't want to delay the trial by having the stand your ground hearing
does not actual evidence that that that thus the trial would even be delayed so
i'm not really buying that story no that doesn't make sense i mean you your
defense attorney just as whatever he thinks is in your best interest in terms
of getting acquitted
raynor dating you build lowest possible sentence so i mean that's that would
make sense so that's the latest i know most media is not covering this story
anymore because it's not as exciting now but we've been covering what's been
going on with cinnamon and it will keep covering it all along because we need to
see where will this end eventually
and what legal process is going to get us to that point
