Do you think this trial will adversely affect stand-your-ground laws? I see this verdict putting pressure on proposed laws and possibly on jurisdictions with SYG already on the books.
A few states may tweak their "stand your ground" laws due to media pressure: Most states will not. The state of OK will not. One media outlet in OK City predicted the end of the OK "stand your ground" law after a local prosecutor gave three passes for righteous shoots in a short period. Few, if any, in the OK legislature noticed.
