In American criminal law, one of the most popular defenses you can claim is self-defense. It is used in all types of cases. However, it is frequently used as a homicide defense and many times it is effective. The keys to proving self-defense are necessity, immediacy and gravity. You have to prove there is some type of grave danger, death or serious bodily harm. You have to prove it was immediate and there was no other option, making it necessary to fight back.
Even as a child, I loved murder mysteries. That is probably why, as a lawyer, one of my favorite legal specialties is criminal law.
ON TO VICTORY!
