Mark my words... Zimmerman will walk.

62. Read the actual laws carefully

Go to your link and examine the laws listed in the links, then compare them with the Florida law. I didn't go to all of them, but I can see the difference right away. The one it says is the closest is the Michigan law, so take a look at that one.

Michigan's law lacks the following excerpt from the Florida law:

776.041 Use of force by aggressor. —The justification described in the preceding sections of this chapter is not available to a person who:

(1) Is attempting to commit, committing, or escaping after the commission of, a forcible felony; or

(2) Initially provokes the use of force against himself or herself, unless:

(a) Such force is so great that the person reasonably believes that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm and that he or she has exhausted every reasonable means to escape such danger other than the use of force which is likely to cause death or great bodily harm to the assailant; or
(b) In good faith, the person withdraws from physical contact with the assailant and indicates clearly to the assailant that he or she desires to withdraw and terminate the use of force, but the assailant continues or resumes the use of force.

What this means is that even though Zimmerman was the aggressor, he is specifically exempted from prosecution by the very law itself. In all 10 of the states listed in your link, the word "aggressor" doesn't even appear.

So go read the Michigan law closely and you'll find the following excerpt:

(3) A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or to another person or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.

As you can see, the Michigan law only applies if the person is not the aggressor, yet the Florida law specifically allows for that defense in that instance. That is the key difference. Zimmerman is not the only example of this. There have been numerous instances in Florida where the aggressor uses deadly force, yet is immune from both criminal prosecution and civil penalties. That is why nuts like Zimmerman are specifically protected by the nutty Florida law, and is why he will most likely escape all state charges.
