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 persons 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.

There have been various court rulings that say an individual citizen has no right to be protected by the police, that his safety is primarily his own responsibility. The Stand Your Ground Law is only recognizing this.
