Quick question about "Stand Your Ground" application. [View all]

I guess I understand the essence of the law - what I dont understand is how it's used in the field...

I would have assumed the STG law would have been used as a defense IN COURT...and not as a way to create a pre-judicial moment of judgment.

It's almost like the cops had the trial on the scene - and found Zimm "Not Guilty"

Is this the proper application of this law?
