Orlando Florida area atty; Mark Nejame told the local media that his firm filed a federal civil lawsuit over the shooting death of Andrew Scott.
Scott, was shot in killed by Lake County Sheriffs Office sworn deputies who made a early morning "no knock" warrant service on Scott's property.
Scott by reported events answered his door holding a loaded firearm.
The Lake County Florida deputies opened fire & killed Andrew Scott.
The Lake County Sheriff said the unit went to the WRONG location & the subject on the warrant later had the prosecutors drop all criminal charges.
Scott's death was tragic. The sworn deputies were cleared of any wrong doing by the FDLE(Florida Dept of Law Enforcement).
Scott's family members hired Nejame & now there is a huge civil lawsuit.
If I were the sheriff or county mayor, I'd just pay it & settle. The deputies were wrong & used poor judgement. I've been in touchy events too but didn't kill anyone(I once had a high strung armed security guard pull a 92F 9mm pistol on me thinking I broke into my mom's apt).
This legal case should be watched closely.
