Zimmerman Stalker To Deploy "Stand Your Ground" Defense - For Shooting At George Zimmerman...

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, bail bondsman in Los Angeles helped in his case. 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.” (read more)

I cut out the ridiculous bias bits because, well, remember, this is written by Rene Stutzman; the same “reporter” who stated openly, to me directly, her news editorial team had given her implicit instructions that nothing about Trayvon Martin’s background of illegal and violent activity was allowed to be published within any articles reported by the Orlando Sentinel; even after she was confronted with Miami-Dade police officers affidavits showing they gave sworn, under oath, depositions outlining the criminal behavior they were instructed to hide.
I digress.
To the, ridiculous substance, of the defense approach. Remember this is a Mark NeJame PR defense, where PR means “Pinkie Ring”, and not necessarily public relations”. The transparency of motive to the legal representation is brutally obvious.
What better way to drum up media attention toward the law firm of Mark NeJame than to create an absolute guarantee of publicity inherent within a fraudulent irony.
The decision to use a “stand your ground” defense is has nothing to do with the factual issues around the stalker, Apperson’s, behavior. The decision is entirely to create publicity for the ~~case~~ lawyers.
Not withstanding, obviously, the fact that George Zimmerman never used as “stand your ground” defense, it was/is a media construct like much of the entire narrative surrounding the insufferable 2012/2013 trial.
For those who are not as well versed in the backstory, George Zimmerman used a tradition ‘self-defense’ argument in his trial; the “stand your ground” talking point was a media unicorn that was never visible except on television.
