Bryan Francis Swift was charged with second-degree murder with a weapon for the fatal stabbing of Adam Parker. Swift sought immunity from prosecution under section 776.032, Florida Statutes. After conducting an evidentiary hearing, the trial court found that Swift was not entitled to immunity because his use of deadly force was not necessary. Swift then pleaded guilty to the lesser included offense of manslaughter without a weapon, expressly reserving the right to appeal the denial of his motion for self-defense immunity.
