Small Alabama town bitterly divided by 'stand your ground' trial of man who shot neighbor

A judge has declared a mistrial after a jury was unable to reach a verdict in the controversial 'stand your ground' case of a man who shot his arsonist neighbor for trespassing onto his property in the dead of night.

Keith Sullivan was charged with the murder of Greg Bagwell in Grove Oak, Alabama, despite his claims of self defense.

His supporters say he should never have been put on trial due to the state's 'stand your ground' laws.

Bagwell was shot dead by Sullivan after he turned up on his front porch at around 2am on May 8, 2023.

Sullivan's defense said that Bagwell was a known arsonist and drug user, who he had reported to police for acting erratically in the days prior to the incident.

But prosecutors argued that surveillance footage shows the accused shooting Bagwell in the back as he was leaving the property.

A mistrial was declared Tuesday as the trial entered its seventh day, after jurors were unable to reach a verdict following almost three days of deliberation.

Sullivan pleaded not guilty to murder  after being denied immunity under Alabama's Stand Your Ground Law.
