According to state crime stats, Florida averaged 12 justifiable homicide deaths a year from 2000-2004. After Stand your Ground was passed in 2005, the number of justifiable deaths has almost tripled to an average of 35 a year, an increase of 283% from 2005-2010.
Now where are you getting your info that most of these were actually convicted of murder?
