@danabrams are you arguing that duty to retreat was not an issue in #DunnTrial because he could not so safely? On what testimony? @csgv
@RWwatchMA @CSGV His defense:gun pointed at me by someone saying hes going to kill me. No retreat issue IF (big if) you believe that.

@danabrams Lacking any gun, evidence of threat, etc. - jury was left with Dunn testimony. Hard to speculate on "belief"@RWwatchMA@CSGV -
.
@dogstar7tweets@danabrams@RWwatchMA Notice how it took, what, 24 hours, for Dunn to ever mention a gun. -
@CSGV@dogstar7tweets@danabrams@RWwatchMA Dunn and Zimmerman are now the face of America's gun lobby. Makes you wonder about the gun lobby

@danabrams@RWwatchMA Much the same way Zimmerman could have driven home and let police do their job after The Call. -
@CSGV@danabrams@RWwatchMA these kids posed no threat to anyone. GZ & Dunn invented threat & stand ground laws &juries authorized murder. -
.
@kcadem,@danabrams is arguing Dunn & Zimmerman's cases did not turn on#SYG law or#SYG related facts, not whether justice was done.@CSGV -
@RWwatchMA@kcadem@danabrams@CSGV lack of justice aside--its clear SYG played key role in shooting & in lack of verdict. -
@kcadem I think so. I can't prove it. SYG is in jury instructions.While not challenged about duty to retreat Dunn seems to argue he couldn't

Thank you
@danabrams, and@CSGV. These are important issues, and you're engaged. Best. -
@RWwatchMA@danabrams Thank you. Let the debate continue! -
@CSGV of all the engagement on twitter for policy that reduces gun violence, you set the bar. I appreciate your informed debate. Thank you. -
@RWwatchMA@CSGV@danabrams No need to "invoke" SYG when the Pros agreed to the language being included in the jury instructions, right? -
@Kema_Pridgen Right, when folks say INVOKE#SYG, I assume they're asking for a hearing w/ the judge to dismiss the charges.@CSGV@danabrams -
@RWwatchMA@Kema_Pridgen@danabrams Maybe, but it helps spread the fallacy that the SYG law doesn't help defendant during jury trial. -
@CSGV@RWwatchMA@danabrams Agreed. If language of SYG is required to be read in SD part of jury instructions, Def benefits from SYG. -
@Kema_Pridgen@RWwatchMA@danabrams Exactly, and we're tired of propaganda and misinformation to the contrary. - 2 more replies

@danabrams@RWwatchMA Sure, but the situation escalated to that point, even if you do believe it. Dunn could have taken no for an answer.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@danabrams@CSGV agreed, no opportunity to retreat safely is arguable.Also, self-defense law in FL makes it irrelevant,therefore unexploredThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
