Use of force - Ability, Opportunity, Jeopardy - Tenicor
This video explains the legal framework for the justified use of lethal force, emphasizing the 'Ability, Opportunity, Jeopardy' model. It contrasts common media portrayals with legal realities, stressing that self-defense is based on a reasonable perception of imminent threat of death or great bodily harm, not just who struck first. The importance of perspective at the time of the event and the role of preclusion in some jurisdictions are also discussed.
