Wyoming’s “Stand Your Ground” law says you don’t have to run from a confrontation before defending yourself. That is what Rihanna Kelver and her counsel are asking a Laramie judge to consider as they seek protection from prosecution in a felony case stemming from a confrontation outside the Crowbar.
Her version also claims she pulled a non-existent knife instead of a gun. She hasn’t done her credibility any favors here. Witnesses say she approached with her hand at her hip as if she was ready to draw a gun.
If true, that shows that she felt like she was in danger as she approached. That’s not covered by SYG.
This is by no means a cut and dry case of clear self defense.
Yet here you are trying to argue a cut and dry case the other way. That’s for a jury if it goes to trial.
Where did I argue a cut and dry case? I intentionally used indefinite qualifiers.
Apparently you missed that I did as well…
I never said you were saying it was cut and dry.
