I'm glad you found it helpful.
"I feared for my life" is a sort of magic charm that may swing public opinion in your favor (which is why the police use it), but it has little weight in court.
The bottom line, which I don't think can be repeated too often, is that you must have a factual justification for your actions according to the law. Emotions such as fear are irrelevant.
