It's true that the guy that Junta killed got in Junta's face...

That is misleading. He did more than that. Even the prosecution's witnesses agreed that it was the victim who escalated a verbal confrontation into a physical one; i.e., he struck the first blow. If you want to liken this to your road-rage incident, I think you would have to say that the woman tried to deliberately run the man off the road, first. Then you would have to say that they both continued trying to run each other off the road. Moreover, you would probably need to change the woman to a another man. Then it might be roughly comparable. In this now-hypothetical case, the court outcome might have been different, don't you think?
