It's going to take some clever lawyering to sell "justifiable self defense" when the record shows that Mr. Z chose to continue pursuit after being told to stand down.
Anything can happen in these circus trials, I suppose.

I can't decide whose side I'm on though.
Let's see, black kid w/hoodie vs. 1/2 Hispanic-1/2 Caucasian with a Greek given name and a Jewish surname.
