Problem:Lawyers for George Zimmerman on Tuesday canceled an expected hearing to try to have his murder charge dismissed under Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” self-defense law — all but ensuring that Zimmerman will go to trial in June for the shooting death of Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin. 
  
 Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot 17-year-old Trayvon during a struggle last year in a gated community in Sanford, near Orlando, was expected to rely on the Stand Your Ground law in an effort to have the murder case tossed out by a judge without a jury trial. Under the controversial law, a person is immune from prosecution for using deadly force if the person reasonably believes he or she is in danger. 
  
 But Tuesday, defense lawyer Mark O’Mara told Seminole County Circuit Judge Debra Nelson that he would not seek a two-week pre-trial hearing on the Stand Your Ground issue in April, as originally anticipated. 
  
 Shawn Vincent, a spokesman for Zimmerman’s defense team, emphasized that the lawyers have not waived Zimmerman’s right to seek immunity, and might invoke Stand Your Ground during his trial, which is scheduled to begin June 10. 
  
 The approach is unusual: Typically, defendants relying on Stand Your Ground try to have the case dismissed before going to trial. If a judge finds that the defendant’s use of force was justified, the charges must be dismissed. 
  
 Even if a judge denies the motion for immunity and allows the case to go forward, the pre-trial hearings can provide strategic benefits to defense lawyers, allowing them to cross-examine prosecution witnesses and get a preview of the state’s case, experts say. 
  
 “There are enormous benefits to having the hearing pre-trial,” said Miami attorney Jeffrey Weiner, who has handled several Stand Your Ground cases. “I don’t see a downside.” 
  
 A hearing could be risky to Zimmerman if he were to testify — allowing the prosecution to cross-examine him and look for inconsistencies in his description of his encounter with Trayvon. But a defendant is not required to testify at a Stand Your Ground hearing, said Miami attorney Andrew Rier, who also has handled Stand Your Ground cases. 
  
 “There’s no harm” to the hearing, Rier said. “The worst that can happen is that you lose your Stand Your Ground [motion] and you go to trial.” 
  
 If the judge does conclude that Zimmerman’s use of force was justified, he might also be protected from civil lawsuits stemming from the shooting. Zimmerman could face a wrongful-death suit from Trayvon’s parents, who have hired an attorney. 
  
 But it is unclear whether Zimmerman’s defense team will be allowed to ask the judge to dismiss the case based on Stand Your Ground once the trial has begun. That strategy has been attempted, unsuccessfully, in Miami-Dade. 
  
 The defendant: Andrew James Rolle, who is accused of murdering a Miami police detective in January 2008. He claims he was defending himself when he shot and killed James Walker in a confrontation in North Miami Beach. 
  
 Earlier this year, Rolle’s lawyer asked for a Stand Your Ground immunity hearing to be held at the same time as the trial, allowing Rolle to testify only once. But Miami-Dade prosecutors objected; they worried that they would be unable to appeal the judge’s decision on the Stand Your Ground issue once a jury was selected, because that would raise the issue of double jeopardy, which prevents defendants from being tried twice for the same crime. Rolle withdrew his request this week. 
  
 Prosecutors with the Duval County State Attorney’s Office, which is prosecuting the Zimmerman case, could not be reached for comment Tuesday. 
  
 Zimmerman, 29, is charged with second-degree murder for the shooting death of Trayvon on Feb. 26, 2012. Zimmerman said he was watching over a Sanford neighborhood as a crime watch volunteer when he became suspicious of Trayvon, who was walking to his father’s apartment in the rain. 
  
 Zimmerman called police, where a dispatcher advised him not to follow the teen. But prosecutors believe he followed Trayvon anyway, triggering the confrontation that left Zimmerman with a broken nose and Trayvon, who was unarmed, dead. 
  
 Zimmerman told police that Trayvon attacked him, and said he fired his gun in self-defense. The trial is likely to turn on whether the jury believes Zimmerman started the fight or whether Trayvon did — and whether Zimmerman was justified in firing his gun. 
  
 Trayvon’s Miami girlfriend told police that she was on the phone with Trayvon during the moments before the scuffle with Zimmerman, and said Trayvon told her he was being followed by a man who frightened him. 
  
 But according to the Orlando Sentinel, prosecutors Tuesday conceded that the woman lied when she told investigators she was hospitalized at the time of Trayvon’s funeral.

 George Zimmerman won’t seek criminal immunity next month under Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law in the shooting death of unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin and instead will likely let a jury decide his fate. 
  
 Meanwhile, his defense team has revealed the ordeal has led Zimmerman to pack on more than 100 pounds. 
  
 In court on Tuesday, defense attorney Mark O’Mara waived his right to use court time set aside for an immunity hearing, NBC station WESH reported. In that hearing a judge could have quickly cleared Zimmerman of any criminal liability under Florida law that allows lethal force for personal protection. 
  
 Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer of white and Hispanic descent, has maintained he shot Martin on Feb. 26, 2012 in self-defense after Martin attacked him. He has pleaded not guilty to the second-degree murder charge. 
  
 O’Mara said outside Seminole County Courthouse on Tuesday that Zimmerman believes it would be a better outcome to be found not guilty of murdering Martin, rather than being granted immunity, WESH reported. 
  
 “George wants a jury of his peers to decide the case,” O’Mara said. “It’s going to be, I think, a more accepted result for everyone who has to result that he gets an acquittal at trial even more so than immunity hearing by a judge.” 
  
 Zimmerman has not been seen in public since he was released on bail last July. 
  
 “George is doing as well as can be expected,” Sean Vincent, spokesman for Zimmerman’s defense team, told NBC News. “He is in hiding and has gained 105 pounds,” putting him in the “ballpark” of 300 pounds. “Everyone deals with stress differently,” Vincent said. 
  
 Vincent said that releasing the court dates doesn’t waive any rights Zimmerman has to have an immunity hearing, and indeed the defense may raise “Stand Your Ground” claims at trial. In addition, Zimmerman could seek immunity from civil claims at a later date. 
  
 “By entertaining the option of not having an immunity hearing before trial, George preserves the option of having a civil immunity hearing should he need it in the future,” Vincent said. 
  
 Bernie de la Rionda, lead prosecutor, said he was "bewildered" by O'Mara's move but didn't elaborate. 
  
 The Zimmerman case ignited an emotional debate over race and gun rights in the weeks after Martin's death. Local police initially did not charge Zimmerman with any crime, which ignited protests. He was later charged by special state prosecutor Angela Corey following an investigation. 
  
 Last week, a number of demonstration and memorials took place to mark the anniversary of Martin’s death. 
  
 Also on Tuesday, the prosecution revealed that one of their witnesses, identified as Martin's girlfriend, or Witness 8, did not tell the truth when she said she was in the hospital on the day of Martin's funeral because of trauma. 
  
 The defense wanted medical records from the hospital — but the state admitted no such records existed because the woman was never at the hospital that day. 
  
 She is a key witness because she said was on the phone with Martin on the night of his death and provided key details about what took place. 
  
 A trial is scheduled to begin on June 10.

Solution:
George Zimmerman's lawyers have bewildered prosecutors by canceling a hearing that could have seen the murder charges against him dismissed under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law, the Miami Herald reports. The hearing had been expected in April but Zimmerman is now set to go to trial in June for shooting unarmed teen Travyon Martin just over a year ago. His lawyers say he might still invoke "Stand Your Ground" at his trial, though defendants usually use the self-defense law to have their cases dismissed before trial. Defense attorney Mark O'Mara says Zimmerman wants to be found not guilty by a jury instead of having the charges dismissed. The former neighborhood watch volunteer, who has not been seen in public since he was freed on bail last July, "is doing as well as can be expected," a spokesman for his defense team tells NBC. "He is in hiding and has gained 105 pounds," putting him in the "ballpark" of 300 pounds, the spokesman says. "Everyone deals with stress differently."
