"...at the time, Florida did not have a “stand your ground” law and he was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 20 years."

Florida had a self-defense law. It's not clear from that story how "Stand Your Ground" would have helped him.

I agree that it was self defense.

The court tho said that after the guy emptied his gun, Grandpa was no longer in danger and should have just left.
