Stand your ground was in the jury instruction. I call it questions because I served on a jury & they are questions. You go through each one & move on to the next. It is REALLY the most important part of the trial, when the judge (and lawyers apparently) give you the law to interpret what you have heard and are judging. It is the judges instructions & Stand your ground was in those instructions. It was 2 pages & the prosecuter never challenged it being therewithin. Also included were lengthy instructions related to the commission of second-degree murder with discharge of a firearm, manslaughter, excusable homoside, reasonable doubt & others.

I do remember the defense attorney West slipping in something the supreme court found to be not a good thing 30 yrs ago and agrueing that the supreme court NEVER said it couldn't be used just that it shouldn't & giving the judge a hard time & lenghty agrument when she disallowed it. The prosecuter did protest this saying he has never seen it introduced into jury instructions since the supreme court made their ruling 30 yrs ago.

Stand your ground was absolutley a part of the jury instructions (2) pages and a major part of this case.
