[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Think of the most contrived television plotlines- stuff that shows like [i]Bones[/i] or whatever would reject as too implusible and you have the weirdness magnet that is South Florida. Down here, groups with "Family" in their name is code for "Retards". We just had our very first Fisrst Degree Homicide aquittal based on the NRA-written "Stand your Ground" law. [URL=http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/12/12/2543924/stand-your-ground-law-to-set-plantation.html]It's pretty unbelievable.[/URL] [QUOTE][b]“Jarkas gave a full confession to Plantation police,” he said in an email. “He confessed he was going to kill my father, his estranged wife and then kill himself.” Concannon said his father was ambushed and held at gunpoint against his will and was seated when Jarkas shot him. “This man took away my father, a man who served our country in the Navy, a man who has five grandchildren who loved him to pieces,” Concannon said. “He’s gone forever. His murderer is about to walk free.” Brian Cavanagh, head of the state attorney’s homicide unit, said he was concerned that the Stand Your Ground law would encourage violent ends to confrontations because it removes a citizen’s duty to retreat. Although he did not criticize the judge’s ruling, Cavanagh said juries should be allowed the final say about who is telling the truth when prosecutors and defendants disagree. “As the law stands, it contradicts the entire purpose behind the justice system,” Cavanaugh said. “It takes the decision out of the hands of the jurors.” [/b][/QUOTE]Welcome to the wild west- better come packing when any slob can claim he felt "threatened" and blow you away legally...thanks to the National Rifle Association.
