Bottom line you kill someone and your life is not in danger - you should go to jail

This was not a stand your ground case. This was a straight up self-defence case. The jury decided that Zimmerman had a reasonable belief that his life was in danger.
The self-defence laws here would have been very similar. The difference would be that you Zimmerman be carrying a conceiled weapon.
