And I am 100% sure his previous random violent history will come out in during the trial.
I wouldn't be so sure about this. A lot of times judges wont allow past history in a case like this because it doesn't matter in this case. For instance what does the victims past history matter? No one on the train knew about his past history so it's like they can use it as part of their defense. The defendant has to justify his use of self defense in this scenario with the facts that were known at the time. He can't murder someone and then start researching the persons past to justify it after the fact. I'd honestly be shocked if the judge allowed it in this case.
