Reminds me of the criminal who murdered Markeis McGlockton and almost got away with it due to Slaughter Young Gentlemen laws. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Markeis_McGlockton SYG laws are basically "get out of jail free" cards for murderers. The police let McGlockton's murderer walk free because of SYG laws. It wasn't until public backlash that the police arrested and charged McGlockton's murderer. California does not have SYG laws.
One notable thing here is Avalos was murdered 9/28 but not arrested until 11/17, over a month after the murder. After McGlockton's murder on 7/19, the county sheriff refused to arrest the murderer but once the investigation was handed over to the state on 8/1, the murderer would be arrested only 2 weeks later on 8/13. Orange County appears to have dragged its feet arresting this murderer, in comparison.
Slaughter Young Gentlemen
never heard it referred to as that but yeah, Stand Your Ground laws are a right wing dog whistle for open season on whoever they can attack.
