Stand Your Ground’ civil suit is a surprise
By TOM BRENNAN

Published: February 14, 2010

TAMPA – Casey Landes attacked Charles Podany in an alcohol-fueled rage, authorities say, chasing Podany as he tried to bicycle away, knocking him to the ground and beating him as he sought to crawl away.

A judge ruled in September that Podany, 49, was justified in shooting and killing the 24-year-old Landes. Prosecutors did not appeal the decision.

But Landes’ family is now suing Podany, claiming Landes was a victim of “wrongful death” and that Podany was a danger to the Bay Hills Village Mobile Home Park where Podany lives and where Landes was shot.
