Practice without glasses?

I understand your point, Blackhawk.

But actually the comment I made would be directed to a judge, not a jury, in your initial hearing to enter your plea.

Hopefully you will have more than a scream to back you up though! "Taking your chances" with a jury these days is kind of like playing russian roulette with 6 rounds!

Do you think they will really cut you a break because you were startled?

Makes ZERO difference what you say to that judge. You're responding to an indictment. My sole words in that event would be "Not guilty, your honor."

Absolutely!

Being in fear of your life is absolute justification for using deadly force.
