Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Milton Hirsch ruled that lawmakers overstepped their authority in creating the law this year that forces prosecutors to disprove a defendant's self-defense claim at a pre-trial hearing.

The judge ruled that under Florida's constitution, that change should have been crafted by the Florida Supreme Court, not the Legislature.

Terribly inaccurate headline - the 'SYG' law isn't ruled unconstitutional, just the rule that was added this year regarding pre-trial determination of self-defense.

It's all about sensationalism. I'm practicing for my new spot on CNN.
