There’s 15 very big reasons that say it was certainly not self-defence.

Did he attack her though? Seems from the articles I read that she spat on him first. That’s the attack.
It also seems she was arrested 5 times prior for knife crimes.

Im fairly positive there is no self defense claim for stabbings in NY as there aren’t in many places.

There’s a reason they tell you NOT to use a knife in a self defense scenario. It is nearly impossible to defend especially if you kill the attacker.
I think you statistically have a better chance of getting away with “executioner style” shots with a gun than knife use in self defense.

Knives are tools not weapons.
A knife fight cuts everyone. That’s why it’s a shit weapon.
