Florida Statute 316.123 governs the right of way at intersections, stating that:
When turning right, drivers must yield to other vehicles and pedestrians that are in or approaching the intersection. This law emphasizes that vehicles making a right turn should be cautious and ensure it is safe before proceeding.

If the other driver had a red light then further discussion is unnecessary. A driver turning right on red has no right of way at all. As that was not mentioned in the original post I assumed both directions had green lights.
Note: The right turning vehicle must yield because he had a red light, not because he was turning right.
