Stand Your Ground or Hunt Your Target? The Trayvon Martin Case

In 2012, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin left home to grab a snack from 7-Eleven. He never made it back. A two-minute encounter with George Zimmerman—a neighborhood watch volunteer with a history of bad decisions—ended with Trayvon dead, Zimmerman claiming self-defense, and the country splitting down the middle.

What really happened that night? Why was Zimmerman told not to engage, but did anyway? And how did a simple walk home turn into a national flashpoint? This episode unpacks the case, the trial, the protests, and what came after—including Zimmerman’s post-trial spiral that somehow involved road rage, domestic violence, and art theft.

This isn’t just a crime story—it’s a moment in history that changed the conversation on race, self-defense laws, and justice in America.
