..." in Texas words are not enough to start a confrontation."
You're kidding, right?
Had the incident happened in Texas the dead guy would have been the one who started the confrontation with the bull-rush and pushing the shooter violently to the ground. Having words with his girl did not justify the violence. The violence, however, justified the shooting. I can only presume FL is similar, but someone from FL will have to weigh in.
I'm not a lawyer, never been in Florida and you cant call me from jail. Now that my legal uselessness is stated I will be more useless as a court watcher.Trial - day three starts
Jury: 5 men and 1 woman seated

The words or the physical assault?So, who started it?
The assault? The boyfriend IMHO.So, who started it?
Nothing, legally and he isnt here to say otherwise.What caused the boyfriend to assault him?
Wish I could give a post more than one like.to start you need your hands if the guy immediately trys to kick so you can defend your head but also get up or in some defensive position so you can draw.
No ofcourse not but were talking justification to use physical force here and the boyfriend had none. He absolutely no legal justification to push the old guy. That doesn't mean most folks would say he would probably benefit from an ars whipping but that is not in anyway justification for running out of the store and blind siding him.So, the shooter was standing there, minding his own business, and the boyfriend assaulted him for absolutely no reason?
Again, there are two messes:So, the shooter initiated the mess, correct?
