MA'ist NYC subway conductor convicted in bystander death

If yo're chasing someone down, it ain't self defense
 
Plus he stabbed a BYSTANDER. That certainly ain't self defence.
 
Still, I think that it was very confusing for him - apparently he was being mugged by a group of people? How to distinguish between the robbers and helpful people when it seems as though 'everyone is out to get you'? In such a situation, it might be hard to recognize people with good intentions (especially when there is a fight and everyone is just surrounding you etc.).

So, of course, he was wrong to stab the bystander and I think that it's right that he got convicted, but perhaps we should also take into account that it might not be only his stupidity...
