Dad might walk from criminal proscuetion (let’s hope), but he’s going to go bankrupt in civil court. Butthead stupid move on his part.

He went outside to see where the perp went and/or get the license number. . .and Son of The Messiah was standing there holding a gun and the guy was in fear of his life or the life of an innocent by-stander. . .so the guy shot him. . .that’s how I see it. . . .that’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.

The perps stole the familys’ cellphones. Would stand your ground come into play?

[Carriage Hill]

Why? I never understood that civil court thing. Just wondering.

Not in Florida he won't.

Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law offers complete immunity from civil prosecution. The main reason it is hated by Ambulance Chasers.

Even better if Dad kills the perp. His accomplice would be charged with felony murder. Sometimes, Florida doesn't completely suck.

FL’s stand your ground law has complete civil immunity. There will be no civil action. If there is a suit, the lawyer and the plaintiff will BOTH become pesonally liable for a bad faith filing.

Also you have an intervening supervening criminal act.

bottom line, no civil suit.
