As noted before, Stand Your Ground law was not a part of this trial.
The lesson here seems to be if you're a 17 year-old, 6' 1" "child" with recent pictures of guns, drugs and drug use on your cellphone and you've racially profiled someone following you as a "creepy-assed cracker," it might be a better idea to call 9-11 and have him picked up for questioning instead of calling your girlfriend then laying in wait for the "creepy-assed cracker," one-punching him to the ground, wailing on him then being surprised when he drills you in a State where half the population is likely packing.
Martin made some bad choices. He got himself killed because of it.
