Spot on. Though he is still not guilty of murder. There is no way to PROVE he didn't fear for his life in that situation and moment. It just cannot be done. It's always a guess.

Whether most people who ever sit on a jury can actually comprehend that, and thus follow the same set of laws they are supposedly upholding, by returning a not guilty verdict is obviously another matter, and almost never happens.

But shit happens
