Florida's castle laws explicitly point out that if you create an altercation which ends with you shooting someone, you're still a murderer - and it's not self defense.
That's why the defense argued that their client was the one yelling for police help. Spoiler alert, he wasn't.
(consider the alternative, the "I'm not touching you" theory of poking someone until they hit you, so you can kill them...all justified like)
It was second degree murder, by the book - his own testimony condemned him on the merits. That doesn't mean much, though, because we don't use professional jurists - for better and for worse.
