The 911 tapes and this interview killed his Stand Your Ground defense.

I thought we had this discussion before. "we" being collective, as in this forum, not you and I.

The facts, as they are known, show that this case has nothing to do with "Stand Your Ground" laws. It is clear cut self defense, and would have been the same if the SYG laws were never enacted.

Plenty of evidence to show that Zimmerman was on his back being attacked, thus he had no conceivable way to "retreat". Therefore in that situation, self defense applys and always has.

The reason for the interview, according to his lawyer, was to raise more money for his defense....

The guy is hard as stone, no emotion at all, just words. IMO

O'Mara or George?

I just saw the preview, and I thought George sounded like he had emotion behind the words.

O'Mara strikes me as stone.

“It was all God’s plan, and for me to second guess it or judge it,” Mr. Zimmerman said, his voice trailing off.
Now I'm all for getting theological in public, but if you're going to say that, you'd best have a few paragraphs ready to back yourself up. You DON'T say it like a weak kitten and trail off at the end. This is the start of a conversation, not the end of one.

I don't see the upside of the interview, but I'd guess Z just wants to be loved and get his side of the story out. I'd guess he's still shell shocked about this whole thing.

I wasn't clear. To clarify, it doesn't sound like there will be a SYG mini trial. I think his admission of following TM makes it a bad idea to go that route.

The only people who want to see this case have anything to do with SYG are the antis. They have an agenda and part of it is the rollback and/or elimination of any and every right we have to protect ourselves. They think if they can repeal SYG in Florida then they can repeal it anywhere.

But this thread, and this case, isn't about SYG. It is about accusations of Z being a Sandusky.

Sandusky is a child molester....An adult praying on under age kids, a Pedophile ...Z and his accuser are totally different in that they were the same or about the same age...The comparison IMO is not the same.
This isn't about Z be a pervert but about his character or lack of it...IMO
