But Lexington lawyer Jack Duncan, president of the S.C. Association of Defense Lawyers, said people claiming immunity under Stand Your Ground should not have to undergo a trial if they might eventually have the case overturned by the S.C. Supreme Court. The high court could decide the person deserves to have immunity, he said.
?All other states I know of that have a Stand Your Ground law don?t require a defendant who is claiming immunity to undergo a trial before their immunity claim is heard on appeal,? Duncan said.
