Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL), the chair of the DNC, is calling for the repeal of Florida's Stand Your Ground law, which has become the center of the political discussion following the death of Trayvon Martin.
From a statement Wasserman Schultz tweeted Saturday:
This case is further evidence that Florida’s ‘Stand Your Ground Law,’ which passed in 2005, needs to be repealed. The failure of the Sanford police to further investigate this crime as a result of their interpretation of this law is an injustice to Trayvon’s family and to all Floridians.
National Republicans have already begun defending Stand Your Ground, a law passed at the urging of the NRA.
