A criminal defense lawyer discusses strategies to win a jury trial based on self-defense. When a person acts in lawful self-defense, the law excuses his use of force and he is not liable for a crime. The right of self-defense does not permit every use of force, however. The force must be reasonable under the circumstances and respond to an immediate threat of physical harm. Whether a particular use of force is a lawful exercise of self-defense is ultimately for a jury to decide. In this video, San Bernardino and Riverside County criminal defense lawyer Michael Scafiddi discusses legal strategies for presenting evidence of self-defense at jury trial with the aim at securing a ‘not guilty’ verdict.

  1. Why did the homeowner leave the safety of his home? I’m not suggesting that he wasn’t justified in defending himself, but had he stayed inside his house he could have avoided going to jail for 18 months and paying out loads of money on attorney fees. If he had something outside to protect, such as farm equipment and/or livestock, then that might have been something for the police/DA to consider before deciding an arrest.

  2. Imagine defending yourself and being charged with murder and looking at life in prison. This was the same thing that happened to George Zimmerman.

  3. I don’t care if it was self defence. He still killed them, which is wrong!! IMO, self defence is not an excuse for murder. Could have easily just scared them away or something. Even so, they should have accepted their sentence for killing someone. If u disagree, please reason with me. I want to understand while people view self defence as perfectly reasonable!

  4. Why is it that you end up in jail for still defense though? Why would the police arrest someone on a triple homicide charge in his own back yard. It's obviously self defense?

  5. Castle Doctrine. You are on MY property without MY permission then you are subject to summary execution…

  6. If the defendant is found innocent fairly the (NAZI) prosecutor should go to prison (for the same length penalty) for violating the rights of the defendant and so should the arresting (NAZI) police officers too.
    When tyranny becomes law rebellion becomes duty

  7. Having not heard the trial, I imagine the criminals were out to do him harm but at the same time, it's kinda hard to imagine shooting all three dead? If one of them got shot, the natural response for rest would be to flee. Either, all of them froze or all three decided to over power this guy even armed with a hand gun. Either way, the police had sufficient reason to believe there was an intent to kill and not scare or maim.

  8. What if you walkimg a away and then when you turn around four people are charge In at you and you charge back is that self defense or is that you starting the fight.

  9. Of course this guy had to do over a year in jail for defending himself it's California liberal Democratic idiots don't want you to defend yourself they want you to be a good victim and just give in Democrats are pathetic

  11. Don't be afraid to fight back,you have the guts because law will protect you.This is the message announce to those"kings"…

  12. Self defense is innocent,-it is not what initial intention,but the real villain keep forcing,torturing,and you feel you might die if still keep silence,so you fight back.

  13. I need help get justice for myself and my baby boy Billy Bernard Copeland 😢 please…

  14. random jury is a cool idea but if u brainwash / convince enough ppl to think a certain way it doesn't work like it is meant to. I THANK THOSE FELLOW CITIZENS for setting aside differences and putting yourself in thier shoes, CHEERS FROM CANADA!!! ( this hardly ever wins in canadian courts.)
