Self Defense in a Criminal Case

There are many defenses available to self-defense. If your criminal attorney decides to utilize self-defense as a legal defense, then he will raise it at trial. In general, self defense is the justifiable use of deadly or non-deadly force, depending on the circumstances.

Justifiable Use of Deadly Force

You are justified in using deadly force if you reasonably believe that the force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to you while resisting:

  1. another’s attempt to murder you,
  2. any attempt to commit a felony on you, or
  3. any attempt to commit a felony on you upon or in any dwelling, residence, or vehicle occupied by you.

Justifiable Use of Non-Deadly Force

You are justified in using non-deadly force if you reasonably believe such force is necessary to defend yourself from another’s use of unlawful force, and the use of force by the other person seemed ready to take place.

You can also use non deadly force in defense of property if someone is wrongfully trespassing or interfering with your land and you reasonably believe such force is necessary to protect your property.
