20. No, I'm assuming the law says what the law actually says.

Instead of assuming it says something completely different. The law, in this case, is not ambiguous and does not by any stretch of the imagination cover cases like this. Nor is the law in Florida different in any significant way from self defense laws in virtually every other state. You seem hell bent on blaming the law for this rather than the person who appears to have committed murder, and who I very much doubt is going to get away with it.
