"Only that he was in fear for his life after being attacked."

That's not true. A subjective fear is not the standard for legal self-defense.

In FL it is.

“A person is justified in using or threatening to use deadly force if he or she reasonably believes that using or threatening to use such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself....”

Self control: If you cannot control yourself eventually someone else will.

Learn it early and well.

what the hell is subjective fear? the law says you must be in fear of losing your life; that’s YOUR call, not the perpetrator or some poster on FR
