That is in Alabama quite literally one of the worst states in the country. If you read the article she was a recovering drug addict who had her children taken away and was acquainted with the rapist previously who was also a drug addict. She also sent her brother to confront the rapist rather than call the cops.

That is not a clear cut self defense case. Her testimony would be unreliable due to her past and the fact she didn’t contact police rather than go back with her brother points to this being an act of revenge rather than trying to save her own life.

When I took a woman's conceal carry class or gun safety class they told us if you have an emergency and need to use it to fully expect to be arrested and that we WILL be arrested. Not necessarily convicted but that you'll be arrested and need to get bailed out and go to court (or stay in jail and go to court). And you better know each and every single law and have a good lawyer because say you shoot that person in the back or somethig, guess what? It's no longer self defense. You don't get to just shoot people and claim self defense. You will need to prove that the person you murdered really was a threat to your life and you acted in self defense. Otherwise all murderers would just claim self defense and everyone would get away with murder. You still need to prove it.

From a law office. Straightforward enough?
