Of all stand your ground cases I've read, this really takes the biscuit.
We don't get to hear the side of the dead guy. Seems like an easy way to escape prosecution (in fact the burden of proof is on the prosecutor to say that the killer was not in fear or further harm).

You can clearly see the guy shot him after he was backing off on seeing the gun.
The guy also has a history of initiating confrontations.
