I'm not an attorney so I will save the explicit legal reasoning of why I think Zimmerman will be acquitted to our resident attorneys if they have such an opinion.
There are nearly 20 million people in the state of Florida. More than one million of those people have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, and the "Stand Your Ground" Law makes that permit a license to kill. As it has been discussed in the 16 months leading up to this trial that under the "Stand Your Ground" law there is no duty to retreat. If you feel fatally threatened or are witness to a crime you can use deadly force to protect yourself, thus standing your ground. The fact George Zimmerman was the initial aggressor matters not.
