Test Your Legal IQ

December 22, 2011 By: John Kindley Category: Uncategorized

You’re at Sanford and Son’s. Without legal justification, you shoot Fred twice at close range, intending to kill him, and he falls to the floor, with your gun still pointed at him. Lamont, seeing this, instantly pulls out his own gun and points it at you. Seeing this, you shoot and kill Lamont.

Can you claim self-defense as legal justification for shooting and killing Lamont?

No, you can’t, you say? Congratulations! You know the law better than all of the judges on the Indiana Supreme Court.
