Felicia Hoffman, a 24-year-old woman from Lake County, recounts her harrowing experience of being shot in her ex-boyfriend’s home when he mistook her for an intruder. After sustaining severe injuries from a .45-caliber bullet that shattered her vertebra and torn her intestines, Hoffman expresses her relief at being alive but wishes for consequences for her assailant, who is protected by Florida’s expansive “castle doctrine.” This law permits individuals to use deadly force against perceived threats within their homes, leaving Hoffman feeling helpless after prosecutors decided to not file charges against her ex-boyfriend.
