"Stand Your Ground" has been successfully used in cases where the victim was shot in the back

[Bill in NC]

As far as I can tell, you're A-OK if the person you kill was in your house.

Decades ago we had a case here locally where a homeowner blasted away at a group of teens who had forced entry to his garage.

The teen that died was indeed shot in the back, can't remember if any others suffered injuries.

Burned up the talk radio here (pre-internet) but even back then if you were injured/killed in the commission of a crime no civil recovery allowed.
