I think the debate is that once the threat is no longer present it is no longer self-defense if you continue to use deadly force.n5wd wrote:You don't have to retreat, but if you don't, you have to not use deadly force?ToledoBlade.com

The charge against Mr. Abu-Karsh had sparked a debate in the community about the definition of self-defense. In Ohio, what is commonly known as the "Castle Doctrine" indicates a person does not have the duty to retreat before using self-defense.
It further adds that it does not give a person the right to use deadly force.[/b]

I hope that he gets "no-billed". If he doesn't he is going to have a whole bunch of lawyer bills regardless of the final outcome.philip964 wrote:Further down in the article they talk about the lungs being full of blood.
