The STAND YOUR GROUND statute was NOT used in either the Zimmerman or Dunn trials.   Period.

Let me repeat.  The STAND YOUR GROUND statute was NOT used in either the Zimmerman or Dunn trials.   Period.

Repetition is needed because literally every single media pundit talking about either trial says, as if it were true, that Stand Your Ground was a factor in the self-defense claims of George Zimmerman and Michael Dunn.  However, for media and politicians they can never let facts get in the way of their propaganda.

Jesse Jackson - Corrine BrownFLORIDA – Critics of Florida’s Stand-Your-Ground law are using the verdict in the murder trial of Michael Dunn to showcase their argument that state laws should be changed.

Dunn was convicted on three counts of second-degree attempted murder, but the jury could not reach a verdict on first- or-second-degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis after about 30 hours of deliberations.

“It’s a sloppy bill. It needs to be narrowly tailored and judges need more discretion,” U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, a Jacksonville Democrat, said Sunday.

“When the law started, the intention was very good: If you break into my house, I’m going to deal with you. But when you extend [that premise]…. there are problems.”

Stand-Your-Ground was not used as a defense in Dunn’s trial over the shooting death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis, but was referenced in juror instructions.  (read more)
