MEMORANDUM & ORDER
KORMAN, District Judge.
On October 3, 2006, allegedly in self-defense, petitioner Ronald Rodriguez shot and killed Bilah McGraw during a struggle in a dark alleyway. Petitioner was charged with second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, second-degree manslaughter, and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon. The jury acquitted him of the first two offenses—the only ones on which the jury was instructed on the defense of justification. Rodriguez was convicted of second-degree manslaughter and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
