John Q's test is a joke especially about stand your ground not being part of the trial. I watched all of the portion on what the jury should be asked and what would & wouldn't be included. Stand your ground was in the jury questions.
The reason I watched this part is that I've been on a jury & I know it is the most important part. I thought it was questions sent to us by the judge, had no idea it was so involved in the lawyers. We were sent a wrong question & I fought my fellow jurors hard saying that was not our question & sent it back to the judge who replied that we were correct it was not part of our questions & upon returning the bailiff said the judge said you are one sharp jury.
How does stand your ground pertain? Manslaughter laws exist to provide incentive to not use deadly force. Stand your ground laws do the opposite. Taken to an extreme, all you have to do is provoke a confrontation and you can justify murder. Self-defense requires a "duty to retreat" - that is, if you can leave or otherwise defuse the situation, but choose to stay and fight, it's no longer considered self-defense, it's considers deadly force and only an option if there are no others.
Oh I would love to pick apart John Q's test.
Careful there you Trayvon City-Fied Nascar (Constant Left Turning) Dipwad, question(s) regarding Stand Your Ground Law were a part of "Potential Jurors" Pool Questionnaire Butt, NEVER a part of the Actual Trial.
Please go ahead DipWad and try to pick apart that "Test", butt remember your "Opinions" are like A-Holes, everybody has one, so stick to FACTS and just wipe your opinions
