5:31Now PlayingA Florida man is claiming a "stand your ground" defense after shooting his ex-girlfriend in the face. Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick?), John Iadarola (ThinkTank), and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"A Miami man is invoking Florida’s controversial “Stand Your Ground” law in the shooting of his unarmed ex-girlfriend in a restroom at a Denny’s restaurant.
According to the Miami Herald, accused gunman Sean Barnes is asking a Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Charles Johnson to dismiss the attempted murder charges against him on the grounds that he was defending himself and in fear for his life.
Barnes claims that when he followed his former girlfriend Brooke Tuchinksy into a Denny’s women’s bathroom in August 2013, he saw her “grab a shiny object” out of her purse, at which point he opened fire, striking Tuchinsky in the face and breaking her jaw.
Tuchinsky survived the attack and is expected to testify in court on Wednesday that Barnes was trying to kill her.
Days before the attack, in the midst of a stormy, acrimonious breakup, Barnes reportedly told Tuchinsky, “I bought a new gun and would love to use it on you and make it look like an accident or self-defense.””*
