I dont think any jury would actually convict him for killing the guy. The cops could still charge him with having an illegal weapon though, but with the circumstances I'd guess he wouldnt be in any real trouble over it.

Would really depend on what information the jury was allowed to hear. All to often trials are set up in a way to remove certain elements that may bias the jury one way or another.
Common example when I fought the Federal government on my marijuana charges. In such court cases the jury would not be allowed to hear anything about it being used for medical reasons, that in my state it is legal, and so on. All things that could sway a jury.
