Shocking Verdict: Florida (32210) Man’s Self-Defense Claim Rejected After Shooting Neighbor 32 Times – COURT UPDATE
Riverside Estates (32210) – A Florida man who fatally shot his neighbor 32 times with a semi-automatic rifle has been found guilty after his self-defense claim was rejected by the court. The deadly confrontation took place in Jacksonville’s Riverside Estates neighborhood following a long-standing dispute between the two men. Prosecutors argued that the sheer number of gunshots proved intent rather than self-protection. The defense’s claim under Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law failed to convince jurors. The victim’s family expressed relief at the verdict, while community members are calling for reforms to limit the misuse of self-defense laws in violent neighborhood conflicts.
