The Stand your Ground law received national attention primarily because interested groups sought to make it a political issue rather than a simple legal issue.

We are a country where the rule of law applies and every person is entitled to due process. That happened and a jury made the decision.

The legislation pending now desires to reinforce the requirements of criminal law, that being that a defendant has to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

This law protects those who find themselves confronted by people who have no respect for the law, people and even themselves.
