Possibly. Stand your ground can lead to some absurdities. Now in this case, we have a bit more than Zimmerman just following Martin. We have a physical altercation which wasn't going Zimmerman's way and then the shooting. If you simply walked up to someone and shot him, that's not going to play out in your favor.

That jury already had predetermined the outcome long before that trial even started.
The jury followed the law.
