Old Diver - The case is not so simple as you state. Read Alabama Castle Doctrine Law (Section 13A-3-23). Of course someone can protect their own home if entered by an intruder. That is not at question in this case. This case appears to be 3 fishermen staying at an adjoining fish camp that went to investigate the early morning noise of a suspected break in nearby. They were correct. Three young guys had in fact broke in to a vacant cabin and were inside the cabin. Two of the fishermen on the outside of the cabin fired their weapons as a warning. One killed a girl who was hiding outside the cabin. This is assumed an accident at this time. The gray area of the law is what constitutes knowingly/intentionally putting yourself in imminent danger and then using that danger as the justification for killing someone? That is the challenge being made in the current Florida case and it is likely to be in this case as well. The Alabama stand your ground law does not allow for you to intentionally enter into danger in order to protect your neighbor's property. You are allowed to observe at a safe distance and call 911.
