Florida’s Self-Defense Immunity Law: How it really works

Legal Insurrection

comment:

If I am not mistaken, a finding of not guilty in a court will grant immunity to any attempt at a civil suit.  Since Zimmerman was already tried in a criminal court, a verdict of not guilty should grant immunity to any civil suit that may subsequently arise under Florida law.

That's my take.  The discussion in the article is a bit technical, but he does simplify it a bit.  Read the whole thing.
