In which case MIGHT "self-defense" be a legitimate claim?
A) The defendant while driving injured a man who was jaywalking.
B) The defendant assaulted a police officer while being arrested.
C) The defendant wounded an armed man who had broken into his home.
D) The defendant wounded a convenience store clerk during a robbery.

Respuesta :

I would say c because there is a man breaking into your home and self defence would be appropriate because he is invading your property and may hurt you.

It is C

The best example of self-defense would be the case in which the defendant wounded an armed man who had broken into his home . The fact that the perpetrator had broken into the defendant’s home and was armed would satisfy the “imminent use of unlawful physical force” requirement.
