I wasn't aware of a conviction yet!? Or a trial yet?

I wasn't aware of OJ Simpson being convicted of killing Nicole either but everyone brands him as a murderer too.

Robert Blake too. What do these cases have to do with this case? Different variables here.

As usual, you're comparing apples to oranges. The guy hasn't even been on trial yet, and unless you're just going to ignore any facts presented, those haven't been heard yet either.

So it's 1-1. Tie game!

That's what I was sayin'!

As far as the stand your ground law not being lifted... why would it be? People have a right to defend and their home.

Isn't Orenthal James in the CrowBar Hotel for 18 ??? I thought he got 18 years for his threats and forgery with his Sports Memorabilia.

And why do they have to change the law? Just because one person might used it wrong does not mean that they have to rewrite it.

On the cool I don't have a problem with anyone using lethal force if they are defending their life of the life of someone else. I do have a problem with a coward mudering an innocent child and hiding behind a legal loophole.
