Of which they did.
No they didn't. The jury instruction included the FLA statutory language. That's what the verdict was based upon. Obviously, the jury wasn't interpreting whether or not GZ was guilty under a stricter standard used in another state.

YES, they did. "Verbal testimony was provided by him on multiple occasions to the investigators and was presented at trial and was corroborated by other testimony and evidence. Self-defense was proven without him taking the stand and thus did not require him to take the stand."

Why does it matter what other states standard of self-defense is? The incident happened in Florida by a man who was licensed in Florida to carry a concealed weapon and was familiar with Florida state law.

You have admittedly not followed the trial proceedings very closely or at all, so how can you say that the defense didn't prove GZs right to self defense?
