My neighbor killed her husband with one shot from a .22.

...

Was it justified?

There was a mob hit on a mob member. Big guy, and multiple (3 or 5) .25 cal rounds were fired point blank into the back of his head. He survived, and was still functional (after he work up, and the headache stopped).

Maybe the extra mm's of flesh, or perhaps a literally thick skull, dissipated the energy.

I knew an old gentleman who had two pristine baby Browning .25acp’s with consecutive serial numbers. He had many people try and buy them from him but he would not part with them. One day three guys kicked his door in to relieve him of those pistols and he promptly shot all three of them with one of them. One died and the other two survived their wounds.

A .22LR or a .25ACP is better than a .44 magnum at home in the safe. I carry a Keltec P32 90% of the time in .32 ACP and feel comfortable carrying it. Shot placement is everything.
