Justifiable Homicide?

We have all known David to take on very difficult matters and obtain excellent results.  And I am sure many will remember David's pursuit to strike down as unconstitutional the law that banned cockfighting videos (an issue upon which David was shown to be spot on), well, word on the street is that he has a new client and I have his picture

Charges?  Try Manslaughter: "A man attending an illegal cockfight in California died after being stabbed in the leg by one of the birds, officials have said.

The cock had a knife attached to its limb to take part in the gambling fight in Tulare County, central California.

Jose Luis Ochoa, 35, was declared dead in hospital where he arrived some two hours after being injured."

Does the doctrine of transferred intent apply in a self-defense cases?  Or, is this pure justifiable homicide?

In other news, somebody sent me this joke and I pass it on:

"Dear Egypt,

Please don't destroy the pyramids. We won't rebuild.
