CASE ANALYSIS
Scenario
A defendant asserts self-defense against an assault charge. The flowchart maps the sequential legal elements that must be proven for acquittal.
Key decisions
- Is there an imminent threat of unlawful harm?
- Was the force used necessary and proportional?
- Was the defendant's belief of danger reasonable?
- Does a duty to retreat apply, and if so, was safe retreat possible?
