The court reversed Alexander’s 2012 conviction and 20-year sentence only for erroneous self-defense instructions, while rejecting Stand Your Ground immunity. Her 2015 negotiated outcome was three years’ time served plus two years’ home confinement; the official plea judgment was not located.
We reject her contention that the trial court erred in declining to grant her immunity from prosecution under Florida's Stand Your Ground law, but we remand for a new trial because the jury instructions on self-defense were erroneous.
Opinion, conclusion
The court reversed Alexander’s 2012 conviction and 20-year sentence only for erroneous self-defense instructions, while rejecting Stand Your Ground immunity. Her 2015 negotiated outcome was three years’ time served plus two years’ home confinement; the official plea judgment was not located.
