The article said they the CPS were originally trying to have him prosecuted for attempted murder. I guess the lawyers plea bargened for assault as
reduced consequences compared to being sentenced for attempted murder.
You cant really comment as insufficient information in the article. It does sound like he persued and drove into the guy when he was trying to escape.
Personally i think he was justified, if someone has set out to purposely attack or wound you there should be very high limits on what you can do, i.e.
fully incpacitate but not kill.
The laws dont seem to work and city life seems to be massively going downhill
