Betanov, the whole self defence angle hinged on one issue, it is a common issue which comes up again and again across many jurisdictions.
It came up in the local one I mentioned and it comes up in your local one, It is over the point in which the self defence justification is no longer in play.
In your case it came from the fact that he was shot in the back while leaving so no longer could be considered a threat in that instance, in mine it was where the person was incapacitated and was no longer a threat at that time.

Plus, he's safe while in prison. I doubt he'll live long when he gets out

That is where things differ, in the Irish case the person was deemed to be unsafe in prison because thats where lots of the scum who he had killed relatives were.

I guess it all comes down to your lawyer. If he can make you the victim before the court

A lot of it comes down to who the other party is, which is why a jury is always best. If you can paint the other party as despicable scum (or even better get themselves to do it) then you can walk free even if you are guilty as hell
