SYG is a judge decision that stops everything. If so invoked, it all stops there. SD is s defense before the jury

If you are the D lawyer, why ever let it go to the jury if you can stop it early.

If Trayvon knocked him down, he was not standing...so how could he invoke a “stand your ground” defense?

"SD is a defense before the jury."

Oh lordy....are you THAT ignorant?

Are you REALLY saying that self defense can ONLY be claimed before a jury?

Are you REALLY saying that the hundreds, thousands, of cases annually where the claim of self defense is upheld and no trial is held, are the result of a judge ruling SYG?

Really?
