About 150 people gathered Tuesday on the UW-Madison campus to call for repeal of a state law that allowed a homeowner to claim self-defense in the March 3 killing of Bo Morrison, a 20-year-old from West Bend. Morrison?s shooting death came roughly a week after a neighborhood watch volunteer in Sanford, Fla., shot and killed Trayvon Martin, 17, in another disputed case of self-defense. Both young men were black and unarmed, which has ignited charges that the shootings were racially motivated.
