While those "crucial fact issues" might count in the "Court of Public Opinion", they most certainly will not be allowed in a Court-of-Law to be presented to a Jury.
Only the immediate facts of incident are allowable and it is clear that the McMichaels were the initiators of the confrontation. A claim of self-defense evaporates in those conditions.
Aubrey's deliberate attack, clearly recorded on video, eliminates his presumption of "self-defense" and changes the event into "mutual combat".
A charge of "Involuntary Manslaughter" would likely result in a conviction. A charge of "Murder" most likely would result in an acquittal or mistrial.

How can he defend himself against a group of armed vigilantes who intentions were to shoot and kill him?
He has to attack and hopefully overcome the shotgun guy or shot gun guy shoots and kills him. Not much of a choice here.

Gun are for self defense, hunting, target practice, they are not a license for every day citizens to go and chase down people they think are criminals, they are not a license to play cop.
