I heard the defendent’s lawyer speaking, via a phone somewhere, in an interview on BBC America this morning.
He was saying that at this time he does not see “Florida’s Stand Your Ground law” as an area he is going in his client’s defense, but rather “self defense” is.
Wheather or not the story from Backwoods Home Magazine is correct or not - concerning some things known about the gun - it would jibe with the direction - self defense - the defendent’s lawyer appears headed.
Makes perfect sense since Stand Your Ground doesn’t apply to someone who is pinned to the ground and couldn’t retreat anyway.
