Stand your ground does not apply here. You can't shoot somebody just because they pushed you. As the attorney has argued, you cannot provoke a fight and then claim SYG.
The deceased was backing off for multiple seconds before the gun was fired. There is no way they can convincingly argue that death/great bodily harm was imminent.

Shove?? That was a physical assault on a guy that was maintaining distance and using his words.
From assault point of contact to dude clutching his chest is roughly 5.34 seconds on a stop watch.
