But then he should be charged for instigation/abuse of some kind. The shooting is a separate issue IMO.

Just because he was wrong to instigate, doesn't prove that he was wrong to defend himself. If in fact he feared for his life.

Aren't judges & juries smart enough to consider each issue separately?
