The bias in self-defense cases is very high. Sure, if a stranger was breaking into your house in the middle of the night and gets shot, there's probably no charges. Outside of a pretty narrow window, it's likely to go to trial. From there, conviction is extremely likely no matter what. Juries have a definite bias to favor the prosecutor which in my opinion is why so many innocent people have been convicted over the years.
