"A New York Times story about jury selection in George Zimmerman's trial says the case is "spotlighting Florida's Stand Your Ground law." In the very next sentence, however, the Times concedes "that law has not been invoked in this case."
Possibly the Times is walking back it's reporting as they look at just how weak the prosecutions case actually is, and just how easily Zimmerman can win an appeal if by some chance he is found guilty. An appeal that if it does come to pass could open not just the prosecutors office but the various media whose inflammatory reporting might have damaged Zimmerman's ability to get a fair trial, to a MAJOR lawsuit.
