Zimmerman Stalker To Deploy “Stand Your Ground” Defense – For Shooting At George Zimmerman…Posted on May 29, 2015 by sundance
Matthew Apperson will use a “stand your ground” defense in the charges against him. I shall defer comment until after the ridiculously biased presentation within the article, as notable within this editorial construct of Rene Stutzman:
[…] What happened between Apperson and Zimmerman on May 11 is similar in many ways to the night Trayvon was shot. Two people exchanged words. There was a confrontation, and then someone grabbed a gun and opened fire, claiming the other was about to kill him.
In this case, each man says the other was the aggressor.
SANFORD — The man accused of shooting at George Zimmerman will use a “stand your ground” defense in an attempt to clear himself, his lawyer said Friday.
“That’s a good look into the future,” said Michael Lafay moments after a bond hearing for his client, Matthew Apperson, a 36-year-old Winter Springs man accused of firing into Zimmerman’s pickup May 11 as they traveled in separate vehicles down West Lake Mary Boulevard.
“And, of course, as you know,” Lafay said, “Mr. Zimmerman is no stranger to a ‘stand your ground’ situation.”
[…] Lafay asked Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson not to make Apperson wear the monitor. In the two weeks since his release from jail, Apperson has “scrupulously” complied with court orders and stayed out of trouble, Lafay said.
But the judge ordered it anyway and told county officials to strap it on him “now.”
West said his client is willing to wear a companion device, hardware that would alert him if Apperson comes near him.
West said the shooting for Zimmerman was “a remarkably traumatic event.” A bullet passed within “inches of his head.”
