What are the key differences between Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground laws according to the speaker?

The speaker explains that Castle Doctrine primarily applies to self-defense within one's home, while Stand Your Ground laws extend the right to use deadly force to any place where an individual has a legal right to be, without imposing a duty to retreat, as long as they reasonably fear for their life.
