    Stand your ground was not the reason the charges were reduced, it was the reason why she wasn’t arrested immediately. The charges were reduced because the prosecution doesn’t have sufficient evidence for 2nd degree murder charges to stick, so they are bringing charges they know they can prove in court. I have no clue why they can’t do both charges and I totally agree with you on the stand your ground laws…
