Actually based on Florida "Stand your ground" laws he wasn't guilty of murder or at least couldn't be proved to be. And yes "stand your ground" was a factor in the case whether it was used for the defense or not. The judge even stated that it needed to be taken into account. At least one of the jury quoted it as a reason that they couldn't convict Zimmerman
The issue is that "stand your ground" is nothing more than legalized discrimination and murder. It needs to be changed.
