At a rally, his lawyer Lee Merritt said:"A bullet travelled from [Lester's] gun less than five feet into his upper temple, penetrated his skull, and they scraped bullet fragments off his frontal lobe on Thursday. On Saturday, he was home playing with his dog." Lester had told police that he lives alone and was"scared to death" when he saw a black man on his porch - and he thought someone was trying to break in.Experts believe Lester's lawyers will claim self-defence under the state's"stand your ground" law, which allows for the use of deadly force if someone fears for their life.
