MBE® Flashcard
EVEN WHERE THERE IS ACTUALLY NO HARM THREATENED AGAINST THE DEFENDANT, SHE MAY SUCCESSFULLY ASSERT SELF-DEFENSE IF...
… a reasonable person in the same circumstance would have believed that she was under attack. Thus, so long as the defendant subjectively (i.e., honestly and in good faith) believes that a sufficient threat exists to justify defensive force, and there is an objective basis for that belief (i.e., a reasonable person would believe so under the circumstances), self-defense is available.
