The measure before Scott would effectively require a trial-before-a-trial whenever someone invokes self-defense, making prosecutors prove the suspect doesn’t deserve immunity.
Scott hasn’t revealed his intentions, but he’s a National Rifle Association supporter, and this is an NRA priority.
“If it passes in Florida, then they take that same legislation and they push it on the legislative floors across the country,” said McBath, whose 17-year-old son Jordan Davis was killed by Michael Dunn outside a Jacksonville convenience store in 2012. |

| Before the liberal state courts, including the SCOF, changed the law (which, BTW, they are not constitutionally empowered to do), that's the way the law read. They rewrote the law from the bench, which is why the Florida legislature is taking this action. |
