SCENARIO ANSWER # 3
You should have answered "YES" you are justified in this scenario. It is clearly stated in the Florida State Statue 776.013 "Home Protection" Doctrine" that when someone unlawfully enters your home, dwelling or vehicle, you are justified in using deadly force. There are two important presumptions that the state gives you, both of which are required before you can use deadly force. The first presumption is that you are in fear of your life and the second presumption is that whoever enters your home, dwelling or vehicle is there to commit an act of force or violence. Therefore, the use of deadly force is authorized in this case.
