[QUOTE="jhat, post: 2235035, member: 11866"] The affirmative defenses of self defense and justifiable homicide are creatures of statute and are fact specific. Attorney's cannot prepare in advance to defend such cases. Each case turns on its own facts. The legislature has created presumptions when one uses deadly force in defense of ones home or if you are attacked in your vehicle or at your business, but the presumptions are rebuttable. If I hear someone come through my patio door at noon on an August day and I grab my gun and kill a 15 year old kid wearing nothing but gym shorts, I have a serious problem because the kid is clearly unarmed and no threat. If there is a witness I will be charged with some degree of homicide. It's all based on the facts and circumstances of each case. Other than knowing which statutes might be in play, we cannot prepare in advance. [/QUOTE]
