soon a you know the Florida's Stand Your Ground RBC famous cases like the Trayvon
Martin
shooting and William Dunn killing a young kid
causes music was too loud minute
both apply the stand your ground defense it work in part for William done but not
another parts that I was who were completely for george Zimmerman
um and tamper
Tribune did a great story on it exhaust you
report on it I'm sorry the Tampa Bay Times did and they found out
that when they look at all the standard practice in florida that it had cordoned
uneven application I meaning that depending on who you were
%uh you might get a benefit over or not to the benefit at all
and then it had called shocking outcomes
okay so now we can do about this now the data revealed what actually happened in
the
explain all the different cases and and why
it was shocking well a legislator might think hey you know what we should fix
that
a republican thinks yeah we should fix that we should fix it so you never find
out
how shocking the outcomes and uneven application what's
I'm not getting so in this particular case
it's there those Rep state represented by the new Matt
gates a raise from Fort Walton Beach in Florida
and he propose a law to quote severely limit access to court records
in the self defense case in other words
we're not gonna fix and you're out at all what we're gonna do is have somebody
gets off on same year round were burned the records literally
they would expunge the records so that you couldn't do any investigations you
can go back to the case in any way shape or form
and you couldn't even report about okay I got away with ***
on-the-record bad arm sonya Brown from the Tampa Bay Times says
closing records and put in controversial cases that involve violence
into the dark is a bad idea it is against democracy
well neil I think robes and gates would say to you
exactly that's why you want to do it furthermore
no brown says this will be inhibited our work further
our work was on base on court records as was the stories
the incidence when they occurred exactly
he wants to inhibit your work he doesn't want you telling people
what a bad idea stand your ground is you want to be able to shoot people
and get away with it crucible you exposing
how badly supplied in the horrific outcomes
doesn't suit his purposes that's why he would like you to shot up
and we can't make you shut up those burned the records so
marion hammer of course must defend this
the the former NRA National President he say
from its overreach on the media's part to think they need to know everything
about everybody's life
well at that actually i think is kinda their job
let's what they do there report the news
they tell you what happened so that you could make informed decisions
which of course NRA doesn't want to do bury continues
the media wants to know this so they can create news
yeah now that's about it if that's what they do is he's got the news
paper they would have good news in it to make a newspaper
of course up if you don't like the news
well what do you do you burn the records God for British actually pick something
to which
we come at the end so for to realize there was a lot of
uproar percent your am so the republicans who are in favor ever decide
they're going to
a house committee hearing on in well as air it out make sure that
everything is so considered well so they put in charge
ok the hearing to consider
whether they should relook in to stand your ground and possibly taken away
just evaluated again all that is they were upset or mad gates
the skin guy was a burn the records he said
I'm idea fermenting semi round was quote reactionary and dangerous
and the critics of the law were called uninformed that is before the hearing
it's something that's going to do the objective your
how is it reconsider if that wasn't enough for you
he also said before the hearing that he did not support
changing one damn comma up the Stand Your Ground law
bets that head up the hearings
considering whether they should reevaluate stendra
very open mind the republicans it well is there clear
we know you but damn if it works or it doesn't work we're not gonna reevaluated
any you try to reevaluate
we're taking all the records but amid a nice bonfire
or tomorrow
