> kek so wtf would he open the door if he was fearing for his life? this is the real answer, and is probably why he'll end up getting convicted. if you're in fear for your life, you don't open the door. you grab a weapon, barricade yourself in a safe part of your home, and call the police. that's what he should have done. then, if she was crazy enough to break down the door or bust a window and enter his home, he could attack. but as it stands he was basically the aggressor by opening the door. it's not illegal to knock on someone's door or try to speak with them
