My son's PD is rt now having my severely depressed and intoxicated son accept a plea deal for domestic strangulation however it was actually self defense because he wanted his wife to quit hitting and scratching him after pushing him causing him to hit his head on a granite counter top giving him a concussion. They were both drinking that night. she's been hitting since before marriage. While he was in jail their ring cameras were erased.
I understand the situation appears difficult. I can provide some general information on Florida's self-defense laws:
- Florida is a "stand your ground" state.
- A person can use force in self-defense if they believe it's necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm.
- There is no duty to retreat before using force.
I'd recommend seeking advice from a local lawyer for specific guidance.
