John McCain: Arizona's Stand Your Ground Law Should Be Reviewed: "Around 30 states have some form of a "stand your ground" law, which state that a person has a right to use lethal force to defend himself if he feels that his life is in danger. The fairness of the law was called into question after George Zimmerman, who in 2012 shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin then said it was self defense, was acquitted of second-degree murder earlier this month.
McCain said he "trust[s] the judgment" of the jury that acquitted Zimmerman, but the "stand your ground" law may have to be reconsidered."
