says he wants his manslaughter case dismissed under Florida ’s “Stand Your Ground” self-defense law for fatally punching a driver during a road-rage incident in Miami .
On Thursday, the Miami Herald reported that lawyers for Lyle told judges that it was self-defense .
Circuit Judge Alan Fine set a Stand Your Ground hearing for August 22.
Surveillance video
shows that during a traffic incident on March 31 , 63-year-old Juan Ricardo Hernández got out of his vehicle and angrily tried to confront Lyle and his brother-in-law. Lyle got out of the passenger seat, ran towards Hernández and punched him. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and died four days later.
