That is the first time I have seen that. I have even heard new media comminitng on the juror using stand your ground when the defense didn't invoke it.
I watched the speech on CSPAN and thought he sounded more like a political actiovist than an attroney general but thank for the calrifaction.
Okay, how can you use the Trayvon Martin case AGAINST the stand-your-ground laws?
