Introduce the Handgun Wounding and Effectiveness Factors bulletin for the FBI, and read from the passage where it states that (I paraphrase) approximately 1 out of 20 shots fired from an officer's handgun hit the target. It also states that fear of overpenetration CANNOT be a factor in selecting a handgun caliber. In short, your actions did pose a risk, but a police officer standing in your shoes could not be expected to do better.
Unless your lawyer is Perry Mason or Sebastian Shark, don't count on your case "being thrown out." Judges don't usually dismiss cases unless they have no legal merit and juries are generally not swayed by logic or statistics. You might be able to get some evidence introduced by an expert witness, but what could or should have happened with an LEO/FBI agent is irrelevant and immaterial.
