Why the application of Florida's SYG statute is so wrong

[COLGATE4]

10. No. The whole gist of my (and others') complaint

is precisely because the Fla SYG did away with the traditional self-defense=affirmative defense. Now, it's up to the State to prove that Zimmerman didn't have reason to reasonably fear for his life, which is why he blew the kid away. Lazy (or racist cops) and compliant local prosecutors use this to blow off an embarrassing case, which is what happened here. 'Looks like it was SYG to me - wasn't it, Zimmerman?" (wink,wink nod,nod) was probably the first leading question out of the detective's mouth when he arrived on scene. Zimmerman doesn't have to do squat under the FLA SYG law - only the State can with the almost insurmountable burden of proving to 12 of Zimmerman's Central Florida 'peers' that Zimmerman did not act reasonably. And there's no one to testify except Zimmerman. As the Church Lady used to say on SNL, "How convenient".
