Isn't the writer of a law the ultimate authority and final say in its interpretation? [View all]

[Quixote1818]

Meaning, since the writer of the stand your ground law said his law doesn't apply in the Trayvon Martin case, then I would think his opinion should be final. We often look to letters and the words of the Founding Fathers to interpret what they intended in the laws they wrote but in this case we have the author of the law saying clearly it does NOT have any bearing on this case other than perhaps Trayvon had the right to stand his ground by someone who was stalking him.

If I was a lawyer for the Martin family I point that out a thousand times during the case.
