Wyoming’s “Stand Your Ground” law says you don’t have to run from a confrontation before defending yourself. That is what Rihanna Kelver and her counsel are asking a Laramie judge to consider as they seek protection from prosecution in a felony case stemming from a confrontation outside the Crowbar.
Sadly ironic this is in Laramie, Wyoming - the only reason I’ve heard of it is because of The Laramie Project, about the hate-crime-fuelled murder of Matthew Shepherd, a young gay man killed for his sexuality and subsequently celebrated by the Westboro Baptist Church.
