“He left the bum alive and didn’t drag the body into his house.”
Moving the body post-mortum is a mistake. In Florida you don’t need to make a bunch of excuses.
In Texas (Galveston) there was a man who had a dispute with his neighbor (wasn't even breaking and entering), man he was arguing with died (self-defense or not), the defendant then cut up the body and tossed it in the ocean.
He was only charged with improper disposal of a corpse.
That he was a millionaire probably helped his defense.
