A Lee County judge denied on Tuesday a Stand Your Ground motion filed by the defense team for Justin Campos, 26, who is charged with the fatal shooting of two men outside Lookers strip club on Fowler Street last January. Campos' defense had argued he was protected from prosecution by the law because he acted to prevent harm from befalling his friend during a fight outside the club.As a result, the trial will start as planned this morning, with Campos facing life in prison if convicted on two counts of second-degree murder.The altercation began with a stare and ended with the deaths of Carlos Deleon-Ortiz, 29, and his cousin, Juan Miguel Sanchez-Perdomo, 20, according to court documents.Another man, Daniel Guillen, 27, initiated contact with the men, telling them they were "soft," according to Kevin Figueroa, a cousin of the victims."He's coming towards me, with the cocked-back gun, and my cousin is telling me he's got a gun," Figueroa told police. "So, um, he told me he got a gun, and I told the dude, I'm thinking in my head, there is mad cameras right here in front. He ain't gonna do nothing stupid like that. He probably, you know, going to flash it or something, you know."Video from the scene shows that Guillen then pistol-whipped Figueroa in the head, causing him to drop the gun. A scuffle ensued and Campos grabbed the gun. Figueroa and Perdomo turned to run just as Ortiz walked up the sidewalk near the entrance. Campos fired several shots, striking Perdomo and Ortiz in the chest.Campos testified in court Tuesday that he saw one of the men reach toward something in his pocket and thought it could have been a gun but Circuit Judge Alane Laboda ruled Campos didn't provide enough evidence to prove he was in fear for his or his friend's life.Perdoma made it inside but died near the bar while Ortiz never moved from where he had fallen on the sidewalk.

Campos and Guillen then got back in their car and fled, with a taxi driver following them. They were apprehended a short time later.Guillen was found guilty of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and accessory after the fact late last year.

Last week a Collier County judge ruled in favor of Jorge Saavedra, a teenager who killed another student during a bus stop fight, under the Stand Your Ground law.

They brought the gun into the equation, so I think that they should have to pay the price for the damage the gun did.

Guess the guy in the pink went back in a died. Why did he continue to punch if a gun was produced? Dummies on both sides.

Definitely not self defense. He went looking for a fight with his gun...

this whole story plus this comment confuses the fuck out of me.. why would someone who pulled a gun and killed someone with it claim self defense? what the fuck is going on here and who is the random guy who got shot?.. it looks like 2 vs 1 vs 1 vs random victim.

The 2 dead were cousins and the guy getting pummeled produced the gun then his mate picked it up after he dropped it, and fired. Its amazing how he managed to kill 2 guys with 1 bullet a piece. When asked why they fought a survivor said they knew CCTV was everywhere and just thought he was flashing the pistol.
