The mother of Trayvon Martin is expected to testify at a Senate judiciary subcommittee hearing on “stand your ground” laws, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) announced Thursday.

Sybrina Fulton is among the list of witnesses to testify at the hearing, scheduled for Tuesday at 10 a.m. Florida’s “stand your ground” law, which allows an individual to use deadly force in response to a perceived threat, was an issue in the shooting death of her son.
