"The Florida "Castle Doctrine" law basically does three things:
One: It establishes, in law, the presumption that a criminal who forcibly enters or intrudes into your home or occupied vehicle is there to cause death or great bodily harm, therefore a person may use any manner of force, including deadly force, against that person.
Two: It removes the "duty to retreat" if you are attacked in any place you have a right to be. You no longer have to turn your back on a criminal and try to run when attacked. Instead, you may stand your ground and fight back, meeting force with force, including deadly force, if you reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to yourself or others.
First District Court of Appeal held that the “Stand Your Ground” law permits an individual to use deadly force, even when an aggressor is retreating, because they may still be a threat to any individual, and may cause harm from any distance, and or position.[This is an American right repeatedly recognized in
Supreme Court gun cases.]
Three: It provides that persons using force authorized by law shall not be prosecuted for using such force.
It also prohibits criminals and their families from suing victims for injuring or killing the criminals who have attacked them.
In short, it gives rights back to law-abiding people and forces judges and prosecutors who are prone to coddling criminals to instead focus on protecting victims."
so even if you are running away you still can be shot and killed and even if you live and they find you to be at fault YOU CAN NOT SUE THEM!.
Except the Florida Castle Doctrine's provisions only cover your house or OCCUPIED vehicle, or in the case of a violent crime being committed. Understand, I said your house, not your lawn, not your property. Your HOUSE. As none of these conditions were met, the castle doctrine does not apply here.
He did the right thing by not shooting them. They were unarmed stealing from an unoccupied vehicle. Florida law does not allow for deadly force in defense of your property.
And yes, I do think I'm an expert on Florida firearm laws, before you ask.
