1Opinion of the Court
SILBERMAN, Chief Judge.
Tamra Suzanne Leasure was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to thirty years in prison after she shot and killed Arthur Tilley. Leasure argues that the trial court erred in denying her motion to dismiss the charge pursuant to section 776.032(1), Florida Statutes (2008), which is known as the “Stand Your Ground” law. She alternatively argues that the court erred in denying her motion for judgment of acquittal. We find no error in these rulings and affirm.
