Taking advantage of the Castle Doctrine means you give up a trial (provided it's just prosecutorial discretion we're talking about), so if other evidence is discovered downstream, you can still be tried.

Fraud is also an angle here ~ take the wife, invite the guy over, shoot him in the garage three times (must have really been advancing ~ 3 shots?) ~ let's see what happens later on ~ this could be one smarmy mess yet.

Situations like this cry out for the use of water-boarding on somebody. We really need the truth.

I don't believe you are giving up the trial. You just have to have more than a shooting to go to trial. Shooting in itself is not grounds for an arrest or trial.

Presumed innocence, right to defend yourself, right to shoot before calling the police who may not come for 20 minutes. It all seems reasonable to me.
