        In my opinion the law is broad enough to allow great latitude in it's enforcement - FrankC - 7/17/2013 10:26:52 PM

        You need to look at the instructions to the jury. - alcaray - 7/18/2013 1:29:52 AM

        That which is in the instructions to the jury is a critical part of the trial. - alcaray - 7/18/2013 1:48:09 AM

        That's how I feel about people who don't care what "stand your ground" is going to do in our courts. - alcaray - 7/17/2013 5:37:41 PM
        
        You are an admirable advocate alcaray - Jody - 7/17/2013 7:03:00 PM
