A Broward County judge has ruled that a suspended Miami-Dade police officer involved in a 2019 shootout in Miramar can pursue a "Stand Your Ground" defense in a hearing. The incident involved a confrontation with armed robbers that resulted in the deaths of a UPS driver and another man. The hearing is focused on whether Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law applies to the officer, who faces manslaughter charges related to the deadly shootout. Newly released evidence has shed light on the chaotic circumstances of the kidnapping and shooting. Separately, the family of Adam Toledo is contesting a court order that permits increased benefits for a former officer involved in the teen's shooting.
