It appears that the panel was not able to give a simple explanation of the law. I suspect that the purpose was not to educate, but to convince the public that the law should be repealed, because it removed power from prosecutors and law enforcement.

The only flaw in the law professor’s statement...there’s no explanation over your loss of due process after you were shot and killed by the attacker in the first place. From six feet under, there isn’t much due process.

Your individual right to protect yourself will be given to law enforcement who will show up after the fact to do the necessary paperwork.

What this over-educated clown fails to address is the criminal does not give a crap about society or the inalienable right to protect ones self.

So like it or not the criminal's only right is to "assume room temperature" while in the commission of a crime.

It saves the taxpayer money and removes a POS from the gene pool.

If someone breaks into my house, there they’ll die just the same as if they try to car jack me, they will be dead. I don’t think if someone breaks into your house, it should be your duty to find an escape out the back door or window. The law should be approved nation wide.

Right. Some pinhead professor wants to repeal the law.The correct anwer is to carry concealed...if beset...use the Getz Solution...shoot and walk away. Don’t wait around to be a victim of the “in-justice system”.

They got due process, due to their criminal activity the Coroner processed the remains. It's that simple.

"Before a crowd of approximately 100 people, Patricia Broussard, an FAMU constitutional law professor"

FAMU law = joke. Restarted in '02 with a focus on 'sivvil rites lahw', only got full ABA accreditation in '09, huge 1L attrition, >50% percentile LSATs, >60% avg. 1st bar pass.

Broussard wins the annual 'spirit' award named after the deposed Dean.

"The school drew media attention because a state-conducted audit found that staff on the payroll were not performing any work for the school. A payroll audit in 2005 led to the firing of the dean, Percy Luney Jr., although he was never directly linked to the deal, and the conclusion of Shirley Cunningham, Jr.'s faculty position. The interim university President, Castel Bryant, subsequently reported that Cunningham had not undertaken any work at the institution, despite his salary.

Fort Pierce

And this Ft. Pierce SYG case - decided just 10 days ago -- didn't come up as a topic.

An illegal alien successfully used SYG despite covering up the crime scene and lying to the police!

"A jury found Thursday afternoon that a Fort Pierce man was justified in stabbing and killing a man under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law...Gilberto Galvez not guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Carlos Pereza in the early morning hours of March 19, 2011...

Isenhower argued to jurors that Galvez' attempts to hide evidence — putting Pereza in his car and pushing it across the street, cleaning blood off the driveway, hiding the knife and bloody clothes on top of the house and lying to police about knowing the victim — showed "consciousness of guilt."...

Despite the not-guilty verdict, Galvez is not a free man; he is being held at the St. Lucie County Jail to be turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials for being an illegal immigrant."

You can't read that and not come away with the knowledge that George Zimmerman is going to be a wealthy man when all is said and done. Lawsuit, book deal, you name it.

It was quite evident that the cases used to illicit audience participation were quite confusing.

illicit?

Western civilization is doomed.

Before a crowd of approximately 100 people, Patricia Broussard, an FAMU constitutional law professor, explained that because of the immunity clause of the Stand Your Ground Law that was passed in 2005, the controversial law might violate a person’s right to due process.

Poor Pat. Due process has to do with the actions the government takes with respect to someone charged with a crime. It doesn't have anything at all to do with person A defending his right to life against person B who is attacking him. Forbidding person A by law to protect his life seems to be a clear case of violating his right to life.

an FAMU constitutional law professor

That's all you need to know.
Obviously, FAMU is known for the exceptional lawyers that it produces.

“how the law might pre-empt the law enforcement community”
SCOTUS and other courts have ruled that LE is NOT responsible for the protection of individual citizens, even if said citizen has a court issued restraining order against a perpetrator. See Castle Rock v. Gonzales, No. 04-278.

(L.E. ‘Community’ should be replaced with ‘industry’ as in the “military industrial complex” because it surely is an industry, leading us rapidly into a police state.)
