We have the same in Florida. However, the use of deadly force requires that you must be in fear of eminent death or great bodily harm. The police and then the prosecuters are going to "stand in your shoes" when deciding to arrest and/or file charges. When confronting an unarmed aggressor outside of your home or business there needs to be a disparity in physicality to justify the use of deadly force. That disparity may have been lacking in this case.
Then this Lewis must have been a hell of a man since there were two assailants.
thanks bruoz...
I kinda left that part out.
Yep, you have to be in fear for your life and the prosecutors will ‘stand in your shoes’ when deciding to arrest and or file charges.
