Sorry to be possibly spreading rumors and I'll see if I can find the reference. If anyone already has it please post in a reply.

One of my friends told me the lawmaker who introduced and supported the SYG law said it was never intended to apply in a case like this. Could there be a bigger indictment of Zimmerman's actions? Sounds like the SPD was grasping for straws to find a way out for Zimmerman.
