They HAD to prosecute.

Drejka was rolling around town confronting people, and getting in road rage incidents with his little "concealed helper"...

“He shot the guy as the guy as he was walking away. Murder”

Have you read the law? No you haven’t. Why even post, just to be disruptive?

There is nothing in the law about if/when/how a person has to use ‘deadly force’. It basically outlines the conditions to trigger/justify the use of deadly force. It says ‘if this ...then this’. It is quite clear.

Drejka was battered, on the ground and his assailant took a step towards him. At that moment all conditions for Drejka to use deadly force were met. Drejka legally had right to use deadly force.

Yes, there was a delay between the first and second shots and yes, Drejka does have a history of verbal confrontations. However, it was his assailant who attacked, triggering the use of deadly force per FL self-defense statute. All caveats and conditions beyond the strict wording and meaning of the law are secondary. They are extenuating but essentially irrelevant.

Not saying I disagree with you, I just thought of the view point of the guy on the ground. The “pusher” stepped back, turned sideways, and the “pushee” on the ground could no longer see the “pusher’s” right hand. Could have believed the “pusher” was reaching for his own gun.
I don’t like the whole situation.

As he was confronting the guy who was sitting in the car, the driver's homie exited the store and was walking towards them. Just before the homie arrived, the driver, who clearly saw his homie coming, was exiting the car and then the homie attacked the shooter, knocking him to the ground.

At that point the driver was now out of the car and the homie standing there while shooter, on the ground, pulled out his gun and shot the homie who attacked him.

Sorry bro but I'm going with self defense since had the shooter not pulled his gun, it's likely the driver, WHO SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN THE CAR, and the homie were about to do a beat down on the shooter........

INNOCENT!

As a post script to my previous post to you, if I were the defense attorney my first question would be addressed to the driver of the car.

"Once you saw your homie coming down the sidewalk, and approx. 15 feet from your car, why did you decide to exit your vehicle just before your homie launched his attack? What were your intentions?"
