**A: why are you asking? This is very important.

This is not a question that can be answered as you have posed it.

All of the facts would need to be considered, and then it would ultimately be up to a judge and a jury to decide if the defense's argument of "self-defense" in the taking of another's life is a legitimate and believeable one under the circumstances described and all of the evidence presented in court.

The prosecutor will try to show that it is not a legitimate defense.

Sentences can vary, again depending on all of the circumstances and the jury's finding based on the evidence.
