The standard is:

👉 Can you prove it was justified?

In Court, It Comes Down To:

  • Reasonableness
  • Proportionality

  • Overreact
  • Can’t explain their actions

“I believed I was about to be seriously harmed, and I acted to stop the threat.”

What Loses Cases

  • Emotion
  • Confusion
  • Overreaction
