Reply To: The Silence is Deafening!

writersoul – We all know the def. of Battery.

I did answer you last night, but it didn’t make it through.

To keep it simple for e/o -in order to be self-defense it has to be an attack that you need to “Defend Yourself.” Pushing s/o is Not a “Battery” that s/o could claim self-defense on. So the teen had No excuse to violently attack Zimmerman. If the accused believed this attack was putting his life in danger -he had every right to use deadly force.
