With all due respect, you don't have a flippin' clue what you're talking about as it pertains to Florida law. That PC affidavit was nothing but speculation and conjecture. The only fact in it was that Martin is currently deceased.
RV I am not going to critique your logic skills, or lack thereof.
Suffice it to say that Zimmerman is lucky it will be Floridians judging him on trial, not anybody else.
I suspect the jury will be all caucasian, and all gun owning.
Anybody else and he is sunk.
Florida is not an open carry state per se.
Is that judge recusing himself because he won't obey orders and help convict a probably innocent man?
Almost everyone is surprised that the Florida special prosecutor came up with a murder-2 charge.
Many were expecting a manslaughter charge of some degree instead. Many others feel that the SYG law justifies the shooting, on the other hand.
The prosecutor may be over-charging, in order to promote a plea deal for manslaughter.
Or the prosecutor may simply believe that Z was indeed profiling (actually he was), stalking (actually he was), confronted (we don't know exactly yet), threatened (this is also under debate still), and shot M (no doubt he shot him and that M died of the wound).
There have been several predictions on the news and commentary shows that Z will cop to manslaughter. Although his new lawyer has indicated the trial will go forward and that Z will testify.
RV,
What is your damage assessment from this case? I feel that since our lawmakers are such followers, licensed OC is off the table for next year. Which is ironic, because if Z had been OCing, this incident may not have happened.
I think if Scott even pays lip service to this Demoron, he'll be signing his own political death warrant, Zach.

Fine with me....As long as we get him to sign a general OC bill like he promised first, lol.
Will see what we can do about that, Zach!
Thought you'd get a kick out of this:
I ran into Corey yesterday...literally. She was walking into a sports pub that my friends own as I was walking out with take-out. Slammed right into her. If she'd had any idea she'd just walked into a man carrying 2 pistols and 3 knives (had been at the range all day teaching), she'd have vapor-locked!
