Syllabus

The trial court did not err when it did not instruct the jury on the updated \stand your ground\ law, because the change in the law was substantive and thus could not be applied retroactively. Further, the trial court correctly instructed the jury on the law of self-defense. Finally, trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to object to the jury instructions, as the self-defense instructions were accurate. Judgment affirmed.
