    I hated it when Subway ditched the seafood sub.

    It's odd to me that the one person we haven't heard a peep from is Zimmerman.

    We haven't seen stand-ups from the street outside his house, and we haven't heard from his lawyer (He's bound to have lawyered up long ago). He's been a piñata in the national press (if you will) getting whacked with abandon and no one in his corner has presented a defense.

    I guess the cops are doing a good enough job.

    As usual with these high profile Florida cases there is some snappy looking witnesses and attorney's.

    Fla sponsor of "Stand Your Ground" law says that it does not apply in this case:
    http://gantdaily.com/2012/03/22/florida-lawmakers-behind-stand-your-ground-law-says-it-does-not-apply-to-george-zimmerman

    "Baxley wrote an op-ed article published by Fox News. In the op-ed Baxley wrote, “There is nothing in the castle doctrine as found in Florida statutes that authenticates or provides for the opportunity to pursue and confront individuals, it simply protects those who would be potential victims by allowing for force to be used in self-defense.”

    Peaden reportedly told the Miami Herald that the law does not apply to shooter George Zimmerman because he followed the child. Peadon told the newspaper that the moment Zimmerman told the 911 dispatcher that he was following the boy that he lost any defense under the Stand Your Ground law."
