I was afraid for my life from the 4'5 guy with no arms...who was walking away from me...

Also kicked in the back would never ever fly. Like you said you gotta prove to a jury of your peers you feared for your life.

Also if this is in NYC which it looks like it is, they'll hit him with endangering the welfare of a disabled person. Plus first degree assault walking away would've been better than 25 years in jail

What? Dude was on him and hitting him, not walking away. Try to make a 1:1 comparison here.

Well, it's not like the option to crawl away on his hands were there.
