"Sinzae’s case is a part of a pattern of gun violence that plagues the neighborhood and is one of the first cases in Franklin County where the controversial stand-your-ground law was evoked as a defense. Reed, Bentley and other residents remain frustrated with prosecutors, elected officials, and local news outlets. Their neighborhood is only discussed as a talking point about violence and is ignored by law enforcement because of their socioeconomic status, they say."
