I read the Dershowitz article, and while I normally consider him to be beneath reproach, he seems completely right about the actions of the State's Attorneys in this case.
But that law - the one that says that even when someone has a means and an opportunity of escape, that killing an assailant is still "self defense," I mean, it's not the sort of law that should be on the books in a civilized country. If that is the law, than no, Zimmerman is not technically guilty. And that fact alone should cause people to demand that the law be taken off the books.
With that said, I agree it was a simple self-defense case. The defense attorney even warned the prosecution that this is just a self-defense case, don't make it more than it is, don't turn it into a publicity stunt.
The prosecution did, and they lost.
