Show Notes

Just this past Friday (Jan. 28) a lawyer friend of mine sent me a self-defense immunity WIN from Florida. 

Specifically, the court in that case had conducted a self-defense immunity hearing for a defendant facing 20 years in prison.  After the immunity hearing, the court granted the defendant immunity from prosecution and civil suit under Florida's self-defense immunity law. 

So, instead of a lengthy and costly criminal prosecution, and the prospects of a conviction and 20 years in prison, this defendant got to simply go home, free of legal and civil liability, and free from any politically motivated prosecution.

I thought this case would be a great example to illustrate how self-defense immunity works in the real world, by stepping through the really excellent "Order to Dismiss" drafted by the court that granted this immunity.
