“they’ve already ruled he acted under SYG. “
LOL! Did you not read the article?
The sheriff is declining to arrest but I guess the state atty could bring charges. they should not though. markeis is a thug with a long record. if he pushed me down like that I would have shot him too.
CLEARWATER — Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri announced Friday that his agency will not arrest a man deputies say shot and killed another man during an argument over a handicap parking space.
“The incident falls under Florida’s self-defense law known as “stand your ground,” the sheriff said during a news conference. The law gives immunity to those in fear of their lives who use force to defend themselves.
The shooting “is within the bookends of ‘stand your ground’ and within the bookends of force being justified,” the sheriff said, later adding, “I’m not saying I agree with it, but I don’t make that call.”
The agency will forward the case to the State Attorney’s Office for a final decision, Gualtieri said.”
