The Law That Let the Chiefs Parade Shooters Go Free

HURT? LET US HELP YOU! 🚨 Have a personal injury case? We’re here to help! Northland Injury Law: https://www.northlandinjurylaw.com Eric explains Missouri's "stand-your-ground" law and how it makes both criminal and personal injury cases much harder to handle.

Even if a criminal case doesn't move forward, Eric explains that victims might still be able to win a civil case for money since the rules for winning are a bit easier in those courts.
