Justifiable use of deadly force
In Florida, you have the right to protect yourself. You may be justified in using deadly force if someone is attempting to murder you. Additionally, in Florida, if a perpetrator is committing a felony upon you in your home, the use of deadly force is justified.
The statute is written intentionally broad; therefore, zealous prosecutors may charge an individual with murder even if they justifiably used deadly force. There are many avenues to explore when declaring justifiable use of deadly force.
If you feel that you justifiably used deadly force, don't delay; let an experienced former prosecutor help protect your good name and reputation. Call today or contact us online for a free confidential consultation.
