Florida legislature poised to bolster 'Stand Your Ground' law
Florida legislature poised to bolster 'Stand Your Ground' law
| Reuters Florida lawmakers advanced a measure on Wednesday that could make it easier to avoid prosecution in deadly shootings and other use-of-force cases by seeking immunity on self-defense grounds under the state's pioneering "stand your ground" law. |

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. Personal Best Regards: |

MINORITIES...who are up to 10X MORE violent than white people...REAL white people...not the fake Hispanics who claim it on census forms and arrest reports. Minorities ARE this nations #1 problem. They are 1/2 the population now and growing...while our numbers continue to shrink. It's going to get worse before it gets better. Thank the liberal, empathetic women...they encouraged them, they helped them. Might as well treat dogs as equals...you get MORE from them than the typical inner city minority. |

1. A police wannabe who picked a fight with a younger stronger male and when he was about to get his ass kicked pulled out his gun and killed him. I think after some of the thinks he did after award the jury made a mistake. 2. A middle aged white male objected to music playing from a car full of teenage boys when they wouldn't turn it off he opened his car door, reached into the car, opened the glove box, took out his weapon and started shooting. He is still in jail. 3. An older former police officer object to a younger male texting in the movie theater even though the movie had not yet started. In hindsight the younger man was checking in on the sitter and saying he was turning his phone off. The older guy picked a fight with the wrong guy and when he was losing he took out his gun and shot the man dead. In each case the people killed were unarmed and not the aggressor. So what is the point of this new law? |

The Treyvon Martin case was sensationalized, politicized and televised . The three cases you cited did not garner the attention as the Martin case. Sensationalism seems to drive such cases these days . Was Casey Anthony guilty or not guilty?????? According to a jury of her peers, not guilty. I respect the law and I respect everyone's right to due process and the right to "benefit of innocence until proven guilty". So in my view the Stand Your Ground law is good law . The issue that should be debated is not the law itself , but a review and discussion of criminal investigation, and our court system demanding that both be conducted in a professional and non-partisan manner in order to obtain a factual and objective finding based within a certainty given the best investigative technologies, etc available.

Street law enforcement. Another way of saving taxpayer money.

We are discussing the STAND YOUR GROUND LAW as far as I know there are only 3 documented cases of this law. The first 1 one was Hispanic on Black, 2nd White on African American and the last White on White. If I have missed any others then bring those up for discussion. |

I'm not wasting my time scouring ALL the murder trials in Florida? The trials that are 80% minority involvement. When white people are violent...it makes the news...it's that rare...when minorities do...they can only show the worst few because they can't take up too much space/time reporting it. Watch ANY big city local news...minority violence. Act like a douche...you'll be treated like one. |

If someone breaks into your home, hears you, and is making his getaway with some cash and is running down the street - are you legally okay with shooting him in the back as he runs?

Sandy shooting someone fleeing your property or shooting at someone that has already fled your property has never been legal, and it makes no difference if they stole or not.

BTW the case that was in the movie theater has still not come to trial. Stand your ground law, Trayvon Martin and a shocking legacy: Defendant Jeffrey Brown, Defendant Jamal Taylor, Defendant Andrae Tyler and victim Michael Jackson | Tampa Bay Times |
