A Florida jury deliberated for just six hours before finding a man guilty of manslaughter in the 2018 killing of an unarmed father he shot in front of his family in a dispute over a handicap parking space.
Michael Drejka had argued he acted in self-defense, and initially invoked the "stand your ground" law.
Just hours after gunning down Markeis McGlockton, Drejka told detectives he opened fire on July 19, 2018, when the man shoved him to the ground outside a Circle A store in Clearwater and took one step toward him, a scenario the jury apparently rejected after viewing security video multiple times that showed the victim step back when he saw Drejka pull a firearm.
This was aggression to begin with that open the door of trouble.
