Ditto.

Defense attorney should've said: "If he shot a piece of ****, you must acquit".

Plugging the guy repeatedly on the ground was not necessary and probably technically outside the bounds of legality however and not knowing the details, I suspect that's what he got nailed for, not the self-defense per se.

Sounds like a good case for making your first shot count. More range time.
