Legal point: In Florida, SYG is not a self-defense justification pled at trial. It is a pre-trial motion decided solely by the judge.
Def can still plead self-defense at trial, but doubt it will fly.
"Stand Your Ground" is neither. SYG refers to the lack of a duty to retreat, one of the five elements of legal self-defense. It is not "self defense" itself, as the press routinely uses it. And it is not the pre-trial hearing that was conducted here. This was a "self-defense immunity" hearing.
