Comments on: Stand Your Ground Vote Could Come This Week In Florida Senate http://www.northescambia.com/2017/03/stand-your-ground-vote-could-come-this-week-in-florida-senate Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Tue, 28 Apr 2026 05:46:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: David Huie Green http://www.northescambia.com/2017/03/stand-your-ground-vote-could-come-this-week-in-florida-senate/comment-page-1#comment-339227 David Huie Green Sat, 18 Mar 2017 03:42:55 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=280283#comment-339227 REGARDING: "if you killed someone and was found not guilty that you did not do it." Actually, being found not guilty doesn't mean you didn't kill them but that killing them was not murder. You may have killed them in self-defense. (It was the only reasonable way to stop them from killing you.) You may have killed them to protect others. (It was the only reasonable way to stop them from killing someone else.) You may have killed them while not knowing the difference between right and wrong. (Mental defect, low IQ, drugged by someone else, brainwashed, things like that.) You may have killed them without realizing what you were doing would kill them. (Think Dorothy accidentally throwing water on the Wicked Witch to save the scarecrow, not knowing water would melt her.) You may be guilty of manslaughter or vehicular homicide or second degree murder but found innocent of first degree murder. You may have been ordered to execute the killer or ordered to act in national defense. David for legal distinctions REGARDING:

You are given the presumption of being innocent until proven guilty. If you are innocent until proven guilty then that would mean that if you killed someone and was found not guilty that you did not do it. It has never been innocent until proven guilty.

Part of the idea is that you will not then face tens of thousands of dollars in legal expenses and possible civil liability. You do NOT want to get caught in the legal machine; it grinds up even those who get off. David for forethought about aftermath REGARDING:

Every bad guy that gets put down ALWAYS has a rap sheet a mile long.....and then some want to make it harder to defend yourself in your home and in a court of law. How disgusting our system has become. I hope they can strengthen stand you ground, but bad guys need to stay locked up and that will help.

This entire country would thrive instead of being manipulated, sucked dry, and dismantled. Thanks for the refresher on why we should get back to basics and start over. @Sedition– I wish a majority of folks could be that realistic about a lot of things.
