Massad Ayoob...

In a recent Combat Handguns, author & legal expert witness on use-of-force Massad Ayoob, brought up Florida among other states as having these legal provisions but he also said there could also be legal cases that contest it.
Ayoob says even in Florida, anyone can be sued.
I highly doubt that under the circumstances, George Zimmerman will face a formal wrongful death lawsuit but the family members may push for a DoJ investigation.

A big push in central Florida has been for GZ to get a "fair trial" & "to have this death investigation brought to justice". These standards have now been met.

Id add that the metro Orlando Florida media(Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, print) was squarely against GZ in early/mid 2012. Now as the criminal trial evolves Id say the media coverage is about 60-70% pro-George Zimmerman.
The lawyers & TV pundits the local news stations use rip the prosecutors apart daily.
As for Sanford & the Orando area, the court case isn't as big a draw as Casey Anthony. Credit should be given to Sheriff Don Eisiegner & the Seminole County Sheriffs Office for their prudent efforts.
FWIW; When you see the TV news crews & reporters, it's from a "undisclosed location". It's not a huge circus like "Camp Casey" in 2011 in Orange County.
The sheriff & Sanford PD asked that the media not reveal it to the public.
