He clearly was not in front of the car reversing. She did not avoid him, the car clearly hit him. All few shots were within split seconds.

In self-defense law, actions are judged in a split second, not with slow-motion hindsight. The standard is what a reasonable person in that moment would perceive as an imminent threat, based on limited, rapidly unfolding information. You don’t get the benefit of pause, perfect angles, or later analysis — you act on what you reasonably believe is happening right then. That’s why courts focus on perception at the moment force is used, not whether later video review or commentary thinks a different choice might have been possible.
