But that is the problem with this case. There cannot be self defense if Junta walked back into a fight.

If the circunstances were that the death happened in the first fight, self defense could better be applied. The amount of force to the threat level would still be in question, but I bet consideration then would have been less.

If Junta had tried to make a wide loop to avoid Costin in order to get to the locker room, self defense then prevails.

Isn't there testimony that the victim jumped on the accused back when he returned?
