>> Florida’s stand your ground law has tort immunity.

If I understand correctly, the FL “stand your ground” law (and doctrine) have zero applicability in this case, because they’re defending it under the self defense exception for a murder/manslaughter charge.

So I’m not sure there is anything to preclude a civil suit.

Whether they could *win* that suit is a totally separate question.

can be raised later after a not guilty verdict in civil context. The not guilty would be admissible. There is no more money to be mined here.
