JUST IN: The man charged with manslaughter in the May 2021 shooting death of Adam Amoia has opted not to take the stand in his stand-your-ground hearing in St. Johns County court.
The hearingCasado fatally shot Amoia outside the Dos Gatos bar in Downtown St. Augustine, which is now closed.
After the defense rested, the prosecution called a witness to rebut testimony from the defense about the psychology of the use of force. Luis Casado is facing a manslaughter charge in the shooting death of Adam Amoia after a confrontation outside a St. Augustine bar last year. It states Santiago then punched Casado and Amoia and followed that by hitting Casado four more times in the face when Casado “found himself forced up against a wall.”Santiago is heard screaming on an officer’s body cam. He was supposed to testify in court Wednesday but didn’t due to technical issues.
The stand-your-ground petition points out the sequence took 15 seconds, and Casado’s lawyer notes that his client has no prior criminal history, but that both Amoia and Santiago do.Dr. James Fulcher, the chief medical examiner for District 7, said he determined Amoia had alcohol and hydrocodone in his system. Amoia’s blood alcohol concentration level was .266, more than three times the legal limit for driving in Florida.
