Self-defense, as evidenced by the retrial of Raul Rodriguez that began Monday, often makes headlines and generally depends so heavily on specific fact patterns that it generally comes down to a judgment call by a jury or a grand jury.
In the case of Rodriguez, who was granted a retrial because the law on self-defense was not clear in the instructions that the jury received in his 2012 trial, his defense rests on the controversial law of "stand your ground." |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
