Duty to retreat

It all started after school, on Tuesday November 24, 2009. My siblings and I had gone off to the Bob Lucas library to finish any homework we had.

present, also, the state of Florida adopted so called, “Stand Your Ground” laws that supports Zimmerman’s case. “Stand Your Ground” laws eliminate the duty to retreat, or an attempt to get away, from a threatening situation and permit the use of self-defense. These laws root from the Castle Doctrine, which stated one did not have the duty to retreat on their own property, “Stand Your Ground” laws expanded this policy to anywhere a person has…

In 2005, Florida passed the Stand Your Ground law in response to the surge of violence following the natural disasters plaguing the state (Lawson, 2012). The new law abolished a victim’s “duty to retreat,” allowed for retaliation in life-threatening situations, and protected the victims from legal recourse if they acted in self-defense (Wallace, 2006). Before this law, people were legally obliged to run away if it was possible before defending themselves. In situations when a person was attacked…

On the 11th of April, 2012 the State of Florida levied second-degree charges against George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

This idea was based on the belief that a man’s home was his castle and if a man had already retreated to his…

Is the duty to retreat enough? Does a citizen have justifiable reasons to retreat, or does a citizen have justifiable reasons to kill? If the justification to retreat poses a safe escape, the necessity to kill does not exist. Ultimately, the Castle Doctrine is backing-up a murderer. This doctrine encourages a victim to commit homicide. These laws simply say, “We are on your side if you decide (intentionally and personally) that you are in serious danger and need to retreat to killing an…
