\nSpring 2016
\nEssay 2: ANALYSIS OF THE CRIMINAL DEFENSE
\nName: Gina I. Medina
\nDue Date: March 20, 2016
\nIn reading the scenario, my argument is that the male was the aggressor and was wrong
\nfor getting in the intoxicated woman\u2019s face as well as punching her in the gut.
\n\u201cA person
\nverbally threatened by another is not justified in striking the other party with his fist.\u201d
\n[Lar14]
\nWhen the intoxicated woman insulted his girlfriend, she posed no imminent danger, nor is an
\ninsult in any way a threat. By the male\u2019s actions in attempting to make the intoxicated woman
\napologize for insulting his girlfriend, caused her to retreat so she was not within his arms reach.
\nShe actually backed up a few steps to retrieve her space. By her doing this, shows she feared the
\nman of doing her harm.
\nIn defending herself, she took out her nail file from her purse.
\nAccording to text book page 147, the key provisions of Florida\u2019s law, number three (3) states that
\n\u201cA person who is not engaged in unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where
\nhe or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and
\nmeet force with force, including deadly force if he or she believes it is necessary to do so to
\nprevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another to prevent the commission of
\na forcible felony.\u201d [Lar14]
\nIn other words, if he felt as though harm or death was imminent, why would he move
\nclose enough for the intoxicated woman to stab him with a nail file? Why not just leave? Instead,
\nhe took the chance and stepped toward her and hit her in the gut.
\nHe gave her a motive because
\nhe assaulted her and opportunity to stab him with her nail file. \u201cTo establish self-defense, the
\ndefendant must prove that s\/he acted in a reasonable belief that s\/he was in imminent danger of

\ndeath or harm and had no reasonable means of escape from the assailant.\u201d[Lar14] He could have
\nexited the club with no incident. He did not act in self-defense because he violated the
\nintoxicated woman\u2019s space and although she said insulting things about his girlfriend, she never
\nposed a physical threat until he got in her face and demanded that she apologize. Had he not got
\nin her face, she would not have felt the need to pull out the nail file to defend herself.
\nHowever, the stand-your-ground approach is more likely to escalate violence because
\nthere are some people that are misinterpreting the stand your ground law and using it the wrong
\nway. Some people get bold and feel as though they are invincible and begin to use the stand your
\nground law as a cover up for when they decide to act on impulse.
\n\u201cIn the State of Florida vs.
\nMichael Dunne case, Michael Dunne fired multiple shots into a vehicle killing Jordan Davis, a
\nseventeen-year-old teenager because he and some friends were listening to loud music in their
\ncar, while at the gas station.
\nThis man apparently felt that he can use the stand your ground
\ndefense by claiming the boys were coming at him with a gun and he feared for his life. Police
\nfound no firearm on or near the teens and witnesses said that Michael Dunne was the only one
\nthat got out of the car.
\nHe felt by making that accusation about the teens that he would be
\nprotected by the stand your ground law and was comfortable enough to go and eat pizza with his
\ngirlfriend.\u201d
\n[http] Also, many people are not trained in shoot or don\u2019t shoot tactics so it also
\nbecomes a matter of negligence. \u201cA Colorado Springs father fatally shot his teenage step-
\ndaughter
\n, saying he thought she was a burglar.
\nThis is one of several incidents in which a parent
\nhas killed their own child after they mistook them for a burglar.\u201d [Nic13]
\nFurthermore, \u201c
\nThe debate focused on the controversial \u201cStand Your Ground\u201d (SYG) self-
\ndefense law, which garnered national attention after the fatal shooting of Florida teenager
\nTrayvon Martin in February 2012. Twenty-two states now have some variation of SYG
