This video discusses a recent ruling by Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Milton Hiers that declared an amendment to Florida's Stand Your Ground law unconstitutional. The amendment, signed by Governor Rick Scott and backed by the NRA, shifted the burden of proof back to the prosecution, a change the judge argued should have originated from the Florida Supreme Court. The video contrasts this with the 2015 shift that placed the burden on defendants, stemming from the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case.
