Whatever the jury decides in the Zimmerman case, he will either be taken care of by the great state of Florida for the next several years, or he will have to move to another country for his own safety. Perhaps he and Casey Anthony could go into hiding together.

I could be confused, but, I don't think they are using a "stand your ground" defense. I think they are going for self defense, again, could be wrong.
