Stand Your Ground Declared Unconstitutional by Activist Judge

Timothy Birdnow

A Florida judge has ruled an updated "stand your ground" law unconstitutional.

According to the Miami Herald:

"Florida’s updated "Stand Your Ground” self-defense law is unconstitutional, a Miami judge ruled on Monday.

Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Milton Hirsch ruled that lawmakers overstepped their authority in modifying the law this year to force prosecutors to disprove a defendant’s self-defense claim at a pre-trial hearing.

The judge ruled that under Florida’s constitution, that change should have been crafted by the Florida Supreme Court, not the Legislature.

"As a matter of constitutional separation of powers, that procedure cannot be legislatively modified,” Hirsch wrote in a 14-page order.

The ruling is a victory for prosecutors who have firmly opposed a law they believe makes it easier for defendants to get away with murder and other violent crime.

Hirsch’s ruling isn’t binding – other trial courts across Florida can follow the law if they choose. But it does get the ball rolling on the appeals process, and possibly getting the law reviewed by the Florida Supreme Court."

End excerpt.

????

You mean to tell me that in Florida the Supreme Court crafts legislation? That means the Courts RULE Florida, acting as both Judiciary and Legislature. Why have a republican form of government at all?

This is typical of the Left, which is perfectly happy to overrule the voters when it is one of their sacred oxen being gored. They talk a good game about the sanctity of the vote and how America needs more participation, yet when it comes down to it they reserve the right to overrule the public when it suits them.

Hopefully the Florida Supreme Court will overturn this ruling.

Ever since Trayvon Martin was shot in a "stand your ground" case the liberals have hated this law and tried to kill it. Liberals prefer people to be at the mercy of criminals and, of course, of the State.

I wonder if this judge has a concealed carry permit? It's customary for liberals to exempt themselves from the very things they impose on others.

In certain situations, you may need to complete a form or seek court approval to switch your lawyer. This process can become more complex when you have a court-appointed attorney. If you are dissatisfied with your current legal counsel's representation or the outcome of your case, you have the right to find another attorney to handle your case. However, it's important to proceed with caution when filing an appeal. The actions taken by your previous attorney can have an impact on the actions of your new attorney. Click here to visit https://easylawguide.com/when-is-it-too-late-to-fire-your-attorney/ Additionally, not all lawyers specialize in filing appeals, so finding an attorney experienced in this area is crucial. When considering switching lawyers or filing an appeal, keep the following in mind. Formal procedures: Understand the formalities involved in switching lawyers or filing an appeal. This may include completing specific forms or seeking court approval. Familiarize yourself with the requirements and follow the necessary steps.

Court-appointed attorney: If you have a court-appointed attorney, there may be additional procedures or considerations involved in switching legal counsel. Consult with the court or seek guidance from a legal professional to navigate this process properly.

Expertise in appeals: If you plan to file an appeal, it is essential to find an attorney who specializes in appellate law. Appellate cases have unique procedures and require a deep understanding of legal research, persuasive writing, and oral advocacy specific to the appellate level.

Consultation with new attorney: Schedule a consultation with the new attorney you are considering to discuss your case thoroughly. Provide them with all the necessary information and documents related to your previous legal representation.

Switching lawyers or filing an appeal is a significant decision, and it is important to proceed thoughtfully. Seeking guidance from legal professionals can help you navigate the process smoothly and increase your chances of obtaining satisfactory legal representation.
