She lost any chance of “Stand Your Ground” when she went to the garage to get the gun and return

If I’m remembering the details correctly

She lost an chance of self-defense when she went to the garage to get the gun and return. Stand Your Ground refers to a specific element, the duty to retreat, that was not a factor in this case.

She says she tried to escape through the garage but couldn’t get the door to open.

I think you have the right case. However you aren’t required to retreat from your home. Considering who prosecuted the case I’ll side with her.
