How US 'stand your ground' laws lets shooters go free | License to Kill | Fault Lines Docu

In this documentary, Fault Lines travels to Florida and Texas to investigate two homicide cases in which "stand your ground" was used as a defense - and examines how these laws impede families’ quest for justice. When one man shot and killed another at a cinema during an argument over a cell phone, he claimed self-defense and went free. Cases like these are becoming more common as stand your ground laws spread across the United States, with some states seeing a rise in gun killings. Critics dub them "shoot first laws" and warn that they escalate violence and embolden people to act on their fear-driven biases.
