Reminds me of some of the best legal advice I ever read. If you ever need to defend yourself in any way, tell the authorities ONLY that you were the victim of a crime and feared for your life. Anything beyond that will be forthcoming AFTER you retain an attorney.
Even if the LEOs on scene appear to be "on your side", you never know how they really feel or how a potential prosecutor may view your story.
Absolutely. Just "I was the victim of a crime and feared for my life." That's it till you've spoken to your attorney.
