Florida Supreme Court to consider Osceola 'stand your ground' case

(Very unfortunate that this is a paid subscription article)

An unexpected roadway confrontation between a family from Indiana and a Kissimmee man three years ago could soon reshape the way Florida's "stand your ground" law is applied in cases throughout the state.

The Florida Supreme Court is set to hear his case Tuesday. If Jared Bretherick prevails, defendants may no longer have to prove they acted in self-defense in order to win immunity — potentially expanding the application of the self-defense law.

According to the Brethericks' account: Dunning cut them off, then came to a stop in front of them, in the center lane of traffic, and exited his SUV. Ronald called 911 and showed his still-holstered gun as a warning. Dunning then returned to his SUV but backed it up toward the Brethericks.

Deputies said they arrived to find Jared Bretherick standing outside his family's truck, pointing his father's gun toward Dunning's SUV.
