FL:Man says 'stand your ground' law saved his life

"My client was simply trying to get through the parking lot.  He was viciously attacked by the alleged victim," he said.

The case went to trial this week, where Lockett says he was able to prove this was a clear case of self-defense, a case where his client stood his ground.  He never fired his weapon.
