I wasn't being sarcastic. Was bizarenormallity? If he was, I missed that.

That is true. But is still comes down to the jury determining if the ACTOR acted reasonably, as in like a reasonable person would, given the facts known to the actor.Kythas wrote:Not quite, Frog.

It is not about statute, because the crux of the issue is whether a "reasonable person" would believe they were in danger of death or serious bodily injury. Thus the factors that can affect a "reasonable person" become more about case law and juries than about statute.baldeagle wrote:Would you mind citing the statute for that?C-dub wrote:It depends on a few things.
