As a Miami personal injury lawyer, I represent individual people, not giant corporations or insurance companies. I agree with the Court’s decision; I do not think that the Stand Your Ground Law should automatically provide an absolute legal shield defense against a civil lawsuit without a prior weighing of all the facts and evidence in each case.

I keep pestering on DAs, but we have to admit that tort lawyers have to be furious about Florida’s Stand Your Ground. How dare the Legislature to give immunity to somebody who dared to defend himself from his client’s criminal actions! Shameful! They are cutting on their God-Given 30% monetary judgement and taking the bread (and the brand new Jaguar) out of the mouth of their families.
If for no other reason, this is why we need to keep fighting and reinforcing SYG in Florida.
Howdy Miguel,
I was actually visiting an antigun blog and came across this video that very clearly and logically explains the reasoning behind the stand your ground laws.
Yep, Mas gets it right… and too bad, they need to be driving Fords like we do…
You know, back when I cursed as a kid, I got soap in my mouth, not a brand new Jaguar. Kids these days.
