A Life-Altering Road Rage Case and a Stand Your Ground Defense

January 31, 2022

When our client approached a stop at a traffic light in Hallandale Beach Boulevard, he could no longer evade two bikers who had been trying to corral or cut him off. One of them got off his bike, and our client heard a loud bang on the driver's side. Scared, he reached out for his gun, and then the biker violently opened the door of his truck. Our client instinctively fired two shots. They struck the biker, which resulted in severe injuries and permanent disability. Our client was charged with attempted murder in the first degree, which is punishable by life imprisonment. Mr. McMillan and Mr. Donet were devoted to helping our client clear his name as quickly as possible and sprang into action. Mr. McMillan prepared and filed a "stand your ground" motion. And, after months of hard work and three days of hearings, our client was granted immunity and dismissal.
