Why does the prosecutor indict a defendant with felony murder charges but the defendant only acted in self defense?
If self defense is your defense against the crime of murder - you will have to refute the prosecutors evidence in court and convince the jury that it WAS self defense. Next: Self defense is what is known as an "affirmative defense" to prosecution, and the burden of proof is entirely up to you. It is not the role of the Prosecutor to present your defense to the Court. Your best friend right now is your legal counsel - your attorney. If you are charged with a criminal offense and have no attorney, and no way of providing one for yourself, the Court will appoint an attorney for you. That is the person you need to be speaking with, and if you have been charged with murder, may I say you desperately need to be talking to an attorney. And NOBODY else until you have talked to your attorney. And I do mean NOBODY.
