All that said, I suspect the DA will not take your word for all that. Doctors statements, lab tests, medical records I think would all need come into play. Ultimately I think it is a jury that decides if ones action was reasonable. If a DA wants to press it, I suppose he could. The DA is not out of any pocket expenses. However the same might not be true for you. No matter how rational, reasonable, or justifiable you believe your actions would be, I doubt that your fate depends upon them.
