George Zimmerman not guilty of Trayvon Martin murder

A (...) member of his defence team, Don West, said: "I'm thrilled that this jury kept this tragedy from becoming a travesty."

Police justified their decision not to detain him by citing the state's controversial "stand your ground" law, which allows a citizen to use lethal force if he or she feels in imminent danger. Police initially said the law prevented them from bringing charges.

So, Mr Zimmerman was aquitted because he felt himself in imminent danger. Does that mean that if Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teen who found himself being followed in the middle of the night by an armed man, had assaulted Mr Zimmerman (as is alledged) and killed him, he would have been aquitted, too? Somehow I doubt it.....
