Growing up as kids we were always told you have to follow the rules. Sometimes the rules didn't make any sense but you had to follow it. Understanding that things work in certain ways and there's a cause & effect that goes on in the Universe.
I'm pointing out that as a society we create laws and rules that sometimes are not followed. When they are not followed it is justified by what's produced or created as a result of not following the rules.
In the Trayvon Martin case rules were given and they were not followed. What was created from not following the rules was the focal point of the case. According to the court, it was justified for Zimmerman to use deadly force even though he didn't follow the rules.
What's the point of rules and laws if you can focus on the situation at hand regardless if the rules or laws were followed?
