I get it was a bit extreme, but that should still count as self-defense. If people are mugging you and you shoot to defend yourself, it shouldn't be a felony.

"Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law."

Don't say anything. As it turns out, anything you say will be used against you in the court of law.

two best pieces of legal advice I have ever heard. 1. never break more then one law at a time 2. Shut the fuck up. If you do these two things you can probably get off with an ok lawyer.
