Reading the actual story, I think this is a clear case of self defense and this young man should not be held legally responsible for this man’s death. The man hit him with his car - he didn’t just try to, but actually hit him. His only method of defending himself at that point would be to essentially knock the man unconscious. If he were to keep running toward his hoem, the man likely would have run him over again, maybe killing him. This poor boy has to deal with having killed a man. To hold him legally responsible would be very wrong.
