SYG is lazy shorthand for FL law. The law has several components. No duty to retreat, even outside the home (not at issue in the Zimmerman case); granting of immunity from arrest, detention, charging and prosecution for a person who lawfully uses self-defense; immunity from civil suit for a person who is granted immunity.
Zimmerman will move for immunity, arguing that his use of deadly force is justified under the law. A judge will rule on that. If the judge grants immunity, the case is over. The immunity motion will be filed on May 8th or before.

If George is successful at the immunity hearing (highly doubtful, I know), do you think he would have a cause of action against Corey, et. al. for his arrest, etc.?
