I'm not siding with the Zim. He's a dick and deserves anything he gets. He SHOULD be in jail for punishment. I'm not going to say life in prison or 3 years or 3 days. That's not really my job. However? He deserves punishment.
This state is fucked up. I'll pull up the case law somewhere when I have the ambition, but here is a perfect case scenario regarding how fucked up the law is, but at the same time protects it...
It goes something like this:
Methed out boyfriend/husband/whatever gets this great idea to go steal shit from some guy/strawberry/orange farmer and tell her (girlfriend or whatever) that they should do this. She (according to her testimony) adamantly states that she tries as hard as she can to tell him no. He forces a gun to her head and makes him drive her there.
Reader's Digest version because I don't want to bore you too much... she sits in the drivers seat and enters this guy's property. After the crime is committed, the are driving away and the guy that owns the property (he saw the guy stealing shit) states that he feels his life was threatened and opens fire on the truck/SUV that the perps were driving.
Kills the crackhead guy but not the girl.
Girl gets charged with premeditated murder, boyfriend headless in the passenger seat, cops give the farmer back his gun.
Shouldn't this be a little more difficult to figure out?

I can't really comment on the law because I don't anything about Florida law and not much more about similar laws in general.
The basic story is a kid was walking home from the store minding his own business. My kid walks to and from the local store, wears a hoodie from time to time, and walks between some houses on a few paths. Does that mean an armed man can follow my kid, stalk them, and then shoot them only because my kid was walking between houses?
I don't care what the law says. You cannot shoot and kill someone who has done nothing wrong.
