As you see, it says 'the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force', etc.

If you were watching the trial today, you would have seen how important it is to have every comma and every period in place.

I'm getting dizzy from all the SPIN!
gee, I guess someone just came up with the "stand your ground" phrase out of the blue, they must not have gotten it from the STAND YOUR GROUND pprtion of the law.
