pg.1 Florida’s stand your ground law‚ is it allowing criminals to get away with murder? I will be completely honest.

With all the media surrounding this tragic story it’s very hard not to read an article or listen

Stand Your Ground is a self-defense law “in which an individual is legally allowed to defend his life against a threat or perceived threat against his life” (Long).
