re: #278 gwangung

This is still incorrect as Stand Your Ground changes the parameters of self defense. This is incontrovertible.

But…please…proceed, sir. It amuses us.

Ok, from the ABC article….

But the duty to retreat was not an issue in either Dunn or Zimmerman. In both cases the defendants argued that deadly force was used because they “reasonably” believed that it was necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily injury. That, is at its core, no different than the law in almost every other state.

I’m agnostic about SYG but this seems to be accurate to me. Even though the judge is required to include the SYG stuff in his jury instructions it doesn’t seem to have been an issue.
