Appears to have one point awarded to the citizens of Florida.

The burden of proof has shifted in Florida from the defense to the prosecution to prove ‘stand your ground’. Florida Senate Bill 128 was approved 23-15. Senate Democrats were the main block against the bill but, with the law passing the Senate, it appears prosecutors are going to have to spend more time and resources to prove that the defendant can not use a ‘stand your ground’ defense.
