Rachel Mitchell: “The law also specifically states that a person has no duty…”

“These laws say that a person is legally justified in using deadly force when that person believes that it is necessary to defend themselves or a third person from the use of deadly physical force. The law also specifically states that a person has no duty to retreat before using deadly physical force. Under these circumstances, the law does not require a person using deadly physical force to prove their conduct was justified.” (02:04–02:13)
