In this week’s “Ask an Attorney” video, attorney Tom Grieve discusses what, exactly, a self-defense incident is and how it gets raised as a defense in criminal court.
What Is Actually Considered a Self-Defense Incident?
As a criminal defense attorney and former state prosecutor, Tom often answers the question, “What is actually considered a self-defense incident?” In this video, Tom talks about what a
self-defense incident is and how, if you’re involved in one, your attorney will need to raise something called “the privilege of self-defense.” In addition, Tom discusses what “triggering criteria” are and why it’s so important that they’re met before being able to utilize a privilege or an affirmative defense in a self-defense case.
