No doubt that everyone in this post has a valid point. Unfortunately, common sense and reasoning don't seem to count many times in a court room, As I said in my earlier post, I think this poor victim is in big trouble. It won't matter if this guy was in control of his emotions or not, it won't matter if he thought the man on his back was going to kill him or not. What will matter is if the jury will believe his story that he thought he was in mortal danger and find him not guilty! Your guess is as good as mine. Terrible situation for the families of both men.
