Thanks, Stand Your Ground! No homicide charges for teen who shot, killed man

157. But if there are only two people in a given encounter

and one of them is dead, how can you possibly prove it wasn't "a justifiable use of force?"

I can shoot you on the street, and as long as there are no witnesses, I can say anything I want about how you were about to stab me with the knife I "thought" you had, or beat me with the cane you use to walk, or use some fancy karate moves to shatter my windpipe. You're DEAD, so your side of the story will never be heard.

Again, I ask, under such a scenario, how can the state possibly prove I wasn't in fear of my life, and thus justifed in shooting you dead?
