In September a Florida judge ruled the shooting death of 24-year-old Casey Landes was justified under Florida’s stand your ground law. Now the mother of the young man that was shot in the head has filed a wrongful death lawsuit in a Florida court seeking damages in excess of $15,000. The civil complaint was filed in Hillsborough County Circuit Court.
According to the St Petersburg Times quoting court documents, Ruby Landes says that Charles Podany acted with reckless disregard when he shot her son. Podany was originally charged with manslaughter but a judge later agreed with defense attorneys that he shot Landes in self-defense. The lawsuit was filed against Podany and the condo association where the shooting took place.
