Antonio Brown seeks dismissal of attempted murder charge based on “stand your ground” law

Antonio Brown seeks dismissal of an attempted murder charge by invoking Florida’s “stand your ground” law. The motion was filed electronically in the Miami-Dade County court by Brown’s attorney, Mark Eiglarsh, and relies on the belief that Brown reasonably perceived an imminent threat during the May 16 incident after a celebrity boxing event. The defense argues that Brown’s use of a firearm on that occasion was justified as self-defense, describing the gunfire as warning shots aimed away from the alleged attacker. Brown has previously stated on social media that he was attacked by individuals attempting to steal his jewelry and harm him, which the defense cites to support the self-defense claim. The court filing notes that the stand your ground statute eliminates the duty to retreat before using deadly force when faced with a credible threat of death or serious bodily harm.
