In Chapel Hill in the early-ish 1990s, a female jogger was attacked by a rapist. She used her pepper spray on him and he pulled out a gun and shot her dead. When it went to trial, and I’m trying to remember exactly what happened, but it seems he was convicted of second-degree murder because she pepper sprayed him first.
I think this is the case:

Fascinating story - at least the judge gave the bastard life. And a very interesting website, too. Thanks for posting!
Is that Chapel Hill, NC? - Well, I guess it’s back to
Plan A - my old Smith & Wesson revolver.
