SYG does not apply in this case. Nobody who understands that law believes it does.

The SYG law, in addition to "stand your ground," created the opportunity to have a self-defense hearing ahead of the trial, rather than forcing the crime victim to go through the agony and expense of a trial in order to prove self-defense. This is what they're talking about - they're using SYG as shorthand, in effect.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Such a hearing is applicable to any claim of self-defense, not just one based specifically on the SYG law.
