Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Iowa Stand Your Ground Legal Analysis
Posted: 8/21/2020 10:45:50 PM EDT
You all can read this article and make your own evaluation, but describes a relatively recent Iowa case.

https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/publications/LU/1138208.pdf

On September 3, 2017, Levi Gibbs III shot and killed Shane Wessels during a fight involving several other individuals, including Gibbs’s sister, Latricia Roby. It was reported that Gibbs left the fight to retrieve a gun from his car. Wessels continued to be attacked by other individuals present. Wessels was knocked to the ground. He then got up and said he was done with the fight and began to retreat. Gibbs returned with the gun and shot Wessels. Wessels died at the scene from a single gunshot wound.

Just from the basic description in the post I see no stand your ground. The shooter left and came back with a gun. The victim stated he was done and began to retreat. There is no stand your ground possible here. Shooter committed murder as I see it.
