On Sept. 6, Palm Beach County Judge Richard Oftedal ruled that Monahan, 65, was justified in shooting Raymond Mohlman and Matthew Vittum under the “Stand Your Ground” law, which gives people the right to shoot if they feel their lives are in danger.
Mohlman and Vittum, who were intoxicated, cornered the disabled veteran in the cabin of his 35-foot sailboat during an argument near Phil Foster Park, according to court records.
“[Monahan] was within his rights to resist their criminal conduct with deadly force,” Oftedal wrote in his ruling.
