Also I wonder since the cops said they were not charging him because of the "stand your ground" law if that also affected the initial investigation.


From the way I've understood the 'stand your ground' law, it's not an automatic out for killing someone. There will now be a pretrial hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to substantiate the claim of self-defense. The cops may have misapplied the law, but that's bad police work and not necessarily a bad law.


What part of the law did the police not follow when you say they "misapplied"?

Of course I want justice. Based on the evidence at hand I have an opinion but that certainly can change based on the evidence.

Fair play!
