Treyvon was a self-defense situation, not a defense of property. The defendant's case was based upon the stand your ground laws, which MS has as well. You have the right to stand your ground, but you cannot use more force than necessary to defend YOURSELF. Again, I do not know what the "confrontation" was. She had the right to stand her ground and confront the guy that burglarizing her house. She does not, however, have the right to use deadly force to stop him from fleeing or to defend her property.

Do you not comprehend the word "confrontation" in the linked story? If he attacked her as she was trying to stop his criminal act on her property then SYG may come into play pretty easily. Your entire argument is moot because you fail to grasp that very important detail.

Under Florida's law she does in fact have that right. Just like she would in Texas and other states. Your ignorance on various state laws doesn't mean shite to her situation...
