Regarding self-defense, it takes more than just a person's claim. The claim has to match the evidence. In all shooting the situation will be investigated. Among one of the critical things that will be looked at is the history of both people. The best indicator of a person's unknown behavior is their known behavior. Usually the situation is a CCWer (clean police record) calling the police (Making the call is a strong positive) and a dead guy with a weapon and a record of multiple arrests and convictions. The police will check the backgrounds of both people including interviewing friends, facebook page, etc, to see what kind of character they were.
