Stand Your Ground Verdict in Walmart Parking Lot | Portland Maine News

A Florida woman who shot a man during a heated parking lot dispute at a Walmart won’t face charges—thanks to Florida’s stand your ground law. The confrontation began when both drivers fought over a spot; after the man returned angry and approached her car, she warned him away. When he continued advancing—even after she moved her vehicle—she fired one shot, striking him. Surveillance didn’t prove her innocence beyond doubt, but prosecutors concluded they couldn’t disprove her claim that she feared imminent death or serious harm. Under state law, she had the right to use deadly force without retreating. No prosecution will follow. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
