It's not the judges duty to put his/her judgement in place of the law. If a judge wants to put his/her own sense of morality above the law, he's in the wrong job. If the defendant wants to to try for nullification. that chance for that is with the jury. Seriously though Berz, she didn't present any concrete evidence to support the Stand your ground claim according to the judge.

I said the judge should have resigned, but nullification aint legal. Jurors are told to determine the facts and not impose their morality on the law - just like the judge. And when everyone "follows the law" we end up with mindless BS like this, 20 years for warding off an ******* with priors for domestic abuse and a restraining order. How's that for concrete? And now the prosecutor responsible for this catastrophe has been rewarded with hanging George Zimmerman.
