So the basic differences in Florida's SYG law compared with some other states rules are:

A person who claims self defense is presumed to have feared for his life and it's up to the prosecution to show that a reasonable person would not have been in fear of his life. This applies in both criminal and civil court.

No duty to retreat if the person claiming self defense wasn't the original aggressor.

Am I missing anything?
