re: Verdict: FLA July '18 'Stand Your Ground' - M. Drejka guilty in death of M. McGlockton

Tough call for sure, but we have to be mindful of the state of mind the shooter was in after getting violently shoved to the ground. His fight or flight response kicked in and with little option of a flight and having a firearm, he chose fight. It’s plausible that he had tunnel vision and could only see the threat squared up to him, backing away or not. The only way the shooter might not have shot him is if the now deceased would’ve turn his back and ran. I’d like to have been a fly on the wall during deliberation.
