The Stand Your Ground Statute.

It's a law that has been brought front and center through the Trayvon Martin case.

But George Zimmerman's attorney says he hasn't decided whether or not he will use the Stand your ground defense.

"It's really too early to say until we see the facts, once we see the evidence, and we can come up with an idea as to what defense applies to it. Stand your ground, traditional self defense, We just don't know yet," said Mark O'Mara.

During a forum sponsored by the Tiger Bay Club on Thursday to discuss the law, the co-sponsor of the Stand Your Ground statute says that his law is serving its original purpose.

"I feel somewhat vindicated because in the beginning people told me well he can't be charged because of your law," said Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala.  "And I have entertained, yes he can be, he was charged and in front of a jury a judge will determine the facts of the case and will determine whether a self-defense argument is appropriate, and definitely whether or not that is the right way to apply this statute."

Mark O'Mara says his case has already become a vehicle from both sides of the argument to discuss the law.

"It's already brought it to the forefront, and there has already been those conversations and discussions, I don't know yet if it applies to my case because the facts who have to support, there would have to have been an opportunity under that statute," said O'Mara.

During the forum held inside the Citrus Bowl's Varsity Club, lawyers, judges and legal experts discussed the law and its scope.

Elizabeth Megale, legal Expert and Professor at the Barry University School of Law says it's possible Zimmerman's case may never see a trial if the Stand Your Ground defense statute is applied.

Zimmerman's attorney would have to file a motion to dismiss the charges using the Stand Your Ground defense.

"At that hearing Mr. Zimmerman would have to establish by a preponderance of the evidence, which is a relatively low legal standard that he was in reasonable fear for his life," said Megale.

Megale says any number of items could be used as evidence at that hearing, like 911 calls, witnesses, even George Zimmerman himself.

"At that time if the court is satisfied that he was in reasonable fear and grant immunity at that time the case may never see a jury," said Megale.

Representative Geraldine Thompson, D-Orlando, says the Stand Your Ground statute is a bad law, and the Trayvon Martin case is one big reason why.

"The national spotlight has forced us to do what we should have done on our own and that's go back and reexamine this law, and to clarify it with regard to when you are allowed to use deadly force," said Thompson.

Megale says history in Florida has shown Stand your Ground has allowed others to go free with more outrageous cases than George Zimmerman.

"There have been cases much more egregious than what we have here that there hasn't even been an arrest," said Megale.

Governor Rick Scott has formed a 17-person task for to look at the Stand Your Ground Statute.

It is set to have it's first meeting on May 1 in Tallahassee.
