[[The woman charged with shooting and killing her Miami Police officer boyfriend lost her bid to have her case dismissed under Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law.]]
How did she LOSE her right to have the case heard under stand you ground? Was there a trial to determine she wasn’t threatened ‘enough’ to use deadly force?
Under Florida's "stand your ground" law, the defendant can ask the judge to throw the case out before trial if the prosecution can't show evidence that the killing wasn't in self-defense. If the defendant loses that motion (as this defendant just did), she still gets to argue self-defense to the jury at trial.
