On Monday afternoon, the mother of Trayvon Martin spoke at Harvard Law to continue her fight against controversial self-defense laws, usually dubbed “kill-at-will.”
Sybrina Fulton addressed a crowd with her attorney, Benjamin Crump, to discuss the “Stand-Your-Ground” laws that state “there is no duty to retreat (from) an attacker in any place in which one is lawfully present.”
