re: #286 Talking Point Detective

A trial court decision is persuasive but not definitive. If the FL appellate courts or FL supreme court reached that decision, then all lower courts must follow since the FL supreme court is the final word on Florida law (or lower courts in the appellate court’s jurisdiction). Thus, another trial court judge could rule that this SYG is inapplicable in such situations and therefore GZ is subject to prosecution (with the usual defenses intact - self defense, etc.).
