And according to the neighbors, he’s been “burgling” her 3-4 times a week!
IMHO this sounds more like a murder than a defensive shooting just based on the surrounding circumstance, but apparently the jury bought it.
That’s neither here nor there, though, mainly I just wanted to point out that “stand your ground” has no bearing on this case because the shooting occurred in the defendant’s home, not a public area where he had a right to be. </pedant>
It’s the same analysis, though; the stand your ground doctrine simply extends the castle doctrine to anyplace the defendant has a right to be rather than just his home or workplace.
If he was unclothed and lying atop my wife, I’d be fairly confident he was unarmed. Worst case, I outdraw him when he goes for his keistered switchblade.
