Judge denies ‘stand your ground’ motion for former Huntsville police officer charged with murder

...a former Huntsville police officer charged with murder in a 2018 on-duty shooting should have received immunity. In a one-page order, Circuit Judge Alan Mann denied a motion for a “Stand Your Ground” hearing for William Ben Darby, whose 2021 murder conviction was overturned last month. The Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals struck down the conviction ... Darby’s attorneys filed a motion for the immunity hearing, arguing, as in 2019, that he was acting in defense of himself and others when he fatally shot Parker. “If the Trial Court applied the wrong self defense standard at trial, then the Trial Court presumably applied the wrong standard at the Immunity Hearing too,” Darby’s attorneys argued.
