Defense Lawyer:
     "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury - The defendant was in his vehicle,
     unarmed and surrounded by hostile actors, and someone started
     pounding on his vehicle. The defendant, believed that he was about
     to have his windows smashed and himself dragged out of the vehicle
     and beaten or even killed.

     "He panicked, and performed the only action he could come up with
     to save his skin - he advanced at a high rate of speed to clear the way.
     Unfortunately, someone died as a result. This is tragic, but he was clearly
     acting in self defense."

Jury:
     "???"

I haven't seen the videos (the site that Jim Bell referenced make
reference to Trump as the God Emperor, which makes me itch something
fierce - I couldn't stay on that site long enough to watch them), but
just suppose that the videos show that the car was indeed surrounded,
and that at least one person did start banging on it with some
implement or other.

How do you think a jury would vote in that case?

It's not out of the realm of possibility that a reasonable jury would
vote Not Guilty - self defense.
