The Jodi Arias Trial--Fatal Attraction – The Murder of Travis Alexander

[BlueTiki]

I see Jodi is claiming self defence, did she have the right to stand her ground?

Arias can claim any right she wants . . . even the right to remain silent.

In Arizona, self defense is not necessarily SYG.

In Arias' case, it was not a SYG defense.

In fact, all Arias had to do was claim self-defense and the burden was shifted from the defense to the prosecution to disprove her claim of self defense!

SYG always, ALWAYS, has two elements:

1.) No requirement to retreat

2.) An intruder is automatically presumed to be threatening if designated areas are breached (home, automobile) if that intruder has no right of occupancy or possession

See how SYG is racially flawed!
