Legal Support When You Choose to
“Stand Your Ground”
Often referred to as the “Stand your Ground” doctrine, in a legal matter involving “self-defense” we would want to discuss your options and the applicability of these defenses with you and fully evaluate your circumstances before pursuing a course of action. The defenses listed in the statute are as follows:
782.02 Justifiable use of deadly force.
The use of deadly force is justifiable when a person is resisting any attempt to murder such person or to commit any felony upon him or her or upon or in any dwelling house in which such person shall be.
782.03 Excusable homicide.
Homicide is excusable when committed by accident and misfortune in doing any lawful act by lawful means with usual ordinary caution, and without any unlawful intent, or by accident and misfortune in the heat of passion, upon any sudden and sufficient provocation, or upon a sudden combat, without any dangerous weapon being used and not done in a cruel or unusual manner.
What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You
