A former federal prosecutor was recorded stabbing through the window he broke out after a minor vehicle accident in Florida.  The driver he stabbed died.

The man tried to argue he was standing his ground under FL law, but the judge rejected his defense and ordered him to stand trial.

Maybe he thought he'd just bypass the legal system entirely and pass sentence on the spot?

Is this federal prosecutor (soon to be former prosecutor) interpret the stand your ground law as being similar to that old football saying:

The BEST Defense is a GREAT Offense.

Interesting but he's f*cked.

I was half expecting him to whip out a blanket immunity pardon signed by Biden's autopen, since the J6 committee members all received them.

Does Florida have the Death Penalty?  If not they should for this guy!

Florida executes man convicted of raping and killing a woman 3 decades ago

STARKE, Fla. — A man convicted of raping and killing a woman three decades ago
after kidnapping her from a supermarket parking lot was executed Tuesday in Florida.

Anthony Wainwright, 54, received a lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Starke.
He was convicted in the April 1994 killing of 23-year-old Carmen Gayheart, a mother
of two young children, in Lake City.

First, he has to be charged with a Capital Felony, which is a higher level than a Felony alone.  Then the judge, not the jury, must decide whether the death penalty should be applied vs. life in prison.

If the person who stabbed the driver has a history of violence, then he's more likely to be considered for a capital felony charge.  That's one of many factors that might be used to charge a Capital Felony.

Here's a good description of what criteria and categories of crimes might be considered Capital Felonies:

Ted Bundy Intentionally committed his last string of murders in FL so he'd be executed.  He was on death row from 1978 to 1989 before he met the electric chair, Old Sparky.  Even though he admitted to the murders, the system allows for a variety of appeals.  He went through that for over a decade.  It didn't exactly go the way he planned when he chose Florida to put him out of his misery.  I guess 11 years on death row might have been better in his mind than another 20, 30, 40 or more years serving life.  He was 42 when he was executed.

Tim McVeigh, on the other hand, spent 6 years awaiting execution even though he'd confessed and waived his appeals.  Six years is called "considerably shorter than most executions."  His was a federal trial process, since he bombed a federal building.
