She went to the home of a person against which she had a restraining order, and he arrived to his home to find her there. During the confrontation she left the house to go get a gun, and came back in. "Stand your ground?" Sounds more like "home invasion."

When she fired the shot, his hands were supposedly up and the gun was supposedly pointed right at him. Use of deadly force - which is what a warning shot is - requires reasonable fear of imminent great bodily harm or death, which someone with their hands up does not present.

She didn't "stand her ground," she either assaulted him or attempted to murder him.

Appropriate use of overly attached girlfriend sir! I love it.

The facts as presented here are confusing. Lott says she had a restraining order against him, you say there was a restraining order against her. Does a restraining order always imply mutuality, as a matter of common sense?

Also, its not clear where and how she got the gun - did she leave the husband's premises, get the gun from somewhere else, and come back? Anyway, 20 years seems pretty stiff given the background of the case and the husband's testimony.
