I think if Zimmerman walks scott free we'll see a lot more of these cases. Basically, in theory a lot of people can murder someone just by getting someone to attack them and then shooting them in the face. There has been a somewhat similar case where someone invited a neighbor over at night and then shot them dead for trespassing. Fortunately, it didn't work. Either way the precedence that this case produces could be very bad.

good rule of thumb: don't assault anyone and you don't open yourself up to that possibility
if you allow yourself to be goaded into felony assault, you're already putting yourself in a precarious situation. self defense precedence won't change that
