Deadly Force in Self-Defense: What You Need to Know - Critical Mas(s) Ep. 03 with Massad Ayoob
In this episode of Critical Mas(s), Massad Ayoob discusses the three legs that hold up the table that defines the set of circumstances in which the use of deadly force in self-defense is legally justifiable in court.
06:54 - The Zimmerman Case
One of the most well-known and high-profile cases involving the use of deadly force in a self-defense shooting is State of Florida vs. George Zimmerman in the death of Treyvon Martin. Mas discusses the legal facts of the Zimmerman case that were examined and ultimately resulted in Zimmerman's acquittal, and apply to cases of lethal force in self-defense writ large.
The following factors are considered any time there is a shooting or application of other forms of deadly force in self-defense against an immediate, otherwise unavoidable danger of death or great bodily harm to yourself or somebody you have the right to protect: ABILITY, OPPORTUNITY, and JEOPARDY. Force of numbers, disparities in physical size, strength, or the presence of a weapon are a few examples of Ability. Opportunity to employ their intent to cause harm (within certain distances, whether there are obstacles, etc) must be present, and Jeopardy is their manifested intent, either by words or actions, that your attacker is going to carry out the threat that they pose to you.
