Good morning. I'm columnist Scott Maxwell – and today I'm sharing the story of a Winter Park father mad that no one is prosecuting the man who killed his son. Even the homicide detective said he believes it was a murder. But when killers in Florida claim "Stand Your Ground," things can get complicated. The story is here: "Winter Park father: Why won't anyone prosecute my son's killer?" We have much more today. Publix is unveiling more stores with COVID vaccinations – with a portal for weekend appointments opening this morning at 7 a.m. Reporter Steve Hudak has news about a program to give people facing eviction in Orange County up to $10,000 worth of help. And arts reporter Matt Palm has the story of the new CEO at the Orlando Museum of Art (after a tumultuous departure for the last one). Enjoy your reading – and your Wednesday.
