the opportunity to safely withdrawl is a big deal
i dunno the circumstances, i don't care to look them up or read someone's half assed explanation.
but that alone could push a juror's mind the wrong way, its always a solid point in any self defense case.
In the eyes of the law, simply standing your ground is unlawful, if you do have a safe means of egress.
Unless you live in texas. God Bless Texas!
