					<description><![CDATA[Florida became the first state with a law that spells out that prosecutors, and not defendants, have the burden of proof in pretrial &#8220;stand your ground&#8221; hearings when Republican Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill Friday. The measure was among 16 bills that Scott signed, including a bill that gives students and school employees a broader right to express their religious viewpoint in schools. The &#8220;stand your ground&#8221; bill was fought by prosecutors who say it will make their job&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Senate blinked in a fight over a standard of evidence, sending a fix to the state’s “stand your ground” law to Gov. Rick Scott. The House on Friday voted to &#8220;insist&#8221; that the Senate accept its amendment to Sen. Rob Bradley&#8216;s bill (SB 128), which aims to streamline claims of self-defense. Last month, it OK’d the bill but changed the burden of proof to “clear and convincing evidence,” a lower threshold than the Senate’s “beyond a reasonable doubt,” to overcome self-defense. By Friday&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A Florida Senate committee overwhelmingly approved the latest attempt to expand the state&#8217;s Stand Your Ground self-defense law. On Thursday, the Senate Rules Committee passed the measure after advocates said it would stop unnecessary prosecutions. Opponents alleged it would stop a lot of necessary prosecutions, as well. Senate Bill 128 would allow gun defendants to demand pretrial hearings on their claims of self-defense, putting the burden of proof on prosecutors to prove the defendants used the guns not in self-defense.&#8230;]]></description>
