Michigan man fatally shoots teen who broke into garage, sparking debate over ‘Stand Your Ground’ law

A Michigan man fatally shot a 17-year-old named Sivan Wilson after Wilson and six other teenagers broke into his garage in White Lake on July 8, 2023. The incident has led to a manslaughter charge against the shooter, Dayton Knapton, and has sparked a debate over Michigan's 'Stand Your Ground' law. The law allows individuals to use force in self-defense without the duty to retreat in certain situations. This case has raised questions about the implications of such laws in similar incidents.
