CINCINNATI, Ohio (WKRC) -- A group of religious leaders and African American lawmakers from around the state delivered petitions today to Governor John Kasich and legislative leaders asking them not to enact a Stand Your Ground law. A bill introduced into the Ohio General Assembly in June would allow anyone to use force to defend themselves without having a duty to try to retreat first. Debate over stand your ground has increased since a Florida jury acquitted George Zimmerman in the shooting death of 17 year old Trayvon Martin.
