Atmore Man Gets Prison For Brother’s Murder Despite Stand Your Ground Claim
November 3, 2017
An Atmore man has been indicted for the 2015 murder of his brother despite a stand your ground claim.
An Escambia County grand jury indicted James “Jamie” Tolin Scott on one count of reckless murder for the May 6, 2015, shooting death of Tony Tolin Scott. Tony Scott was shot to death with a small caliber rifle at James Scott’s home on Jefferson Avenue in McCullough, a small community north of Atmore.
Wednesday, James Scott was sentenced to 25 years in state prison for the murder of his brother.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office had responded multiple times to the home prior to the shooting due to fights between the brothers.

reasonable. if they know you have been fighting, stand yer ground is not gonna wash.
REGARDING:
“The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office had responded multiple times to the home prior to the shooting due to fights between the brothers.”
If you can’t get along, get apart. Put some space between each other. Much cheaper than lawyers and possible regrets over time.
