At first glance, I don't think this is right. The judge decided that by returning to the house, Ms Alexander showed she was not in fear for her life -- but it appears that she had no choice but to re-enter the house. Alexander had said that her husband had physically abused her, and she testified that she fled into a garage and got a gun, but was unable to leave the home because the garage door was stuck. She testified that she went back into the house, where Gray was with his two sons, and fired a warning shot. Prosecuter argued that Stand Your Law did not apply because Alexander acted in anger -- maybe an omen that SYG will be harder to claim?
