Attorneys for the Florida shooter George Zimmerman have requested a hearing to argue for the dismissal of second-degree murder charges against him under the state’s “stand your ground” law. Zimmerman’s defense team and supporters have cited “stand your ground” to justify his fatal shooting of the 17-year-old unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin. The hearing is not expected for several months.
