DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man who faces trial next month in the fatal shooting of two teens he found inside his garage won't be allowed to use the state's new “stand your ground” defense, a judge has ruled.
Montgomery County Judge Timothy O'Connell said in a ruling earlier this week the “stand your ground” law that took effect in April cannot be applied retroactively to the slayings of Devin Henderson and Javier Harrison in Dayton in August 2019, the Dayton Daily News reported.
Victor Santana, 65, is scheduled for trial June 7 on multiple counts of murder and felonious assault.
