There's enough doubt about the death that I think he's in a bind on the civil side.

Of course, my law degree is hanging on the wall right by my medical degree.
If he used the weapon in self defense, he was defending himself not escalating. His side of the story says he was attacked after he stopped following Treyvon. If the police can't prove otherwise I think he will be absolutely immune from any lawsuits that result.
