..explain why it has his right-hand prints even though he was left handed. I hate it when that happens.)

Couldn’t you use that info to show how deranged he really was? Or he must have dropped his OTHER gun someplace while chasing you?????
I like the ‘shooting tips card (Self-Defense Guideline Card)’ I have... it tells you (in no particular order)
Talk to NO ONE but your lawyer and when the cops get there
ask for medical treatment for shock.
AND MOST IMPORTANT (IMNSHO)
Do NOT express remorse to anyone including the police. lest “I didn’t mean to do it” gets equated with guilt...
No, planting a gun in the wrong hand will not make it seem as though he’s deranged. It will demonstrate your consciousness of guilt.
The advice on your self-defense card is good.
Maybe the guy was ambidextrous, like my husband and son, though they consider themselves to be left handed, they are both right footed, so sometimes it is actually easier to do things that require foot work too, with their right hand.
