What are the circumstances? Who started the fight? Was the shooter arrested? Which state did it take place in. As was mentioned in other threads SYG laws do vary from state to state.
A ruling is expected shortly? How long ago was it and what were the charges? Murder in it's varying degrees or manslaughter? Or is it a grand jury ruling?
I'm asking because when I supposed that Mr. Zimmerman wouldn't be able to get a law enforcement job someone mentioned an acquaintance who got a job with the D.E.A. after being involved in a self-defense shooting. When asked about that, it turned out that the D.E.A. acquaintance shot a person who had broken into his home. That is a much different situation that the events leading up to Trayvon Martin's death.
In short while the case you're citing may very well be as outrageous as the Trayvon Martin seems to be given the 911 tapes and his phone call to his girlfriend we don't know... Although an 8 year old seeing her father shot in front of her very eyes is awful enough.
It also occurred in Florida.
