No, the execution was court-ordered, and none of the participants can be sued, as I recall reading from one of the earlier posts about "FL law."

That is correct.
In order to allow litigants to "freely litigate" pretty much anything you do in the context of litigation (short of perjury or taking so legally-untenable positions as to be silly & a waste of everyone's time) rise and fall with the litigation.
Just for example, a witness cannot be sued for slander/libel for saying something on the witness stand --- even if it turns out to be wrong later.
Judges (like most government officials), similarly, have "judicial immunity" for acts done in their capacity as judges --- even if they are shown to be wrong later.
That's an oversimplification --- and while there are abuses --- the general policy is good because it prevents the never-ending-lawsuit-about-the-last-lawsuut.
It also frees up the average judge/witness (who are typically trying to do the right thing; unlike Judge Greer) to do what they think is correct without constant fear of a lawsuit.
