More details to this question:
Friend invited to my house, later he attacked me and we forced him out. He then kicked the door in and came at me. I had a firearm and shot him. He passed as a result of the injuries. After months of the open investigation DA office advised no charges to be filed and my property was returned to me. Mother of victim still harasses me. I want to speak with her as I know I owe it to her.

Dont discuss this on line. Do not talk to the victim's family or anyone about this except your lawyer. You could alwaye be charged if new evidence is discovered and you, if the statute hasnt run, can still be sued in civil court.
