I took a very quick look at it and, it appears that she was not in fear of her life at the very moment that she utilized the weapon.

Hence, she gets no protection under the SYG law.

But, 20 years............for attempted murder?? WTF?? She wouldn't get five years here in NY!! They could not easily prove attempted murder.
