Texas v. Rodriguez SYG - Is not - see URL for ongoing
Rodriguez was convicted of murder and the case was determined by the jury not to be a SYG shooting.
I would let this sit as an example of what Stand Your Ground IS NOT. Quote:

Rodriquez was a train wreck waiting to happen. He will soon reside in the crossbar hotel at Huntsville, TX: A fitting end for a bully and troublemaker.

After watching the local (DFW) news reports on this case, I'm inclined to agree with the jury's verdict.
I'm not saying I know ALL the facts of the case, but it sure seems that what I did find, did not reenforce his claims of self-defense or SYG.
