Will wonders never cease?
Money quote:
"The Martin case aside, some have noted that many prosecutors dislike Stand Your Ground. But as Reason’s Jacob Sullum has pointed out, this is unsurprising: The entire purpose of Stand Your Ground is to make it more difficult for prosecutors to obtain convictions in cases where self-defense may have occurred."
Prosecutorial overreach is anathema to justice in cases against the otherwise innocent, here and beyond this case. You commit 3 felonies a day, they say. 2nd Degree Murder? Really? If there are no more salient facts that what has been released that aren't mere theories... That's a bit much.
"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws." -- Ayn Rand
