Self Defense Cases
I was looking for all criminal cases similar to my husband self defense case can u help?
A man with a weapon was on our porch starting an argument with my husband and basically the man got killed in the process
Get a fuller story. Self defense will pas if and only if...
1. The man pointed the gun at him in a manor that would suggest he was about to fire.
2. The man said openly that he was going to hurt/kill him, this has to be as clear as "I am going to kill you" not any sort of insinuation.
In order to be self defense the killing must be because the killer believed beyond a reasonable doubt that the killed had the will and ability to kill or seriously harm the killer or someone close to him (IE, you) I can't stress "beyond a reasonable doubt" enough; there can't be even a shred of possibility that the encounter wasn't going to end in one of you dead.

Self Defense Cases
Where can I find specific information on UK self defense law?
Specifically what would define a self defense situation? Would angry and aggressive or abusive behaviour and the threat of violence still count; and if so to what degree? How far exactly are you legally able to go to defend yourself? In what cases can pre-empting an aggressor be justified legally? Links appreciated
You have to believe yourself (or in some cases others) to be in immediate danger of harm, and you must only defend yourself using "reasonable force".
In assessing the reasonableness of the force used, prosecutors should ask two questions:
- was the use of force justified in the circumstances, i.e. was there a need for any force at all? and
- was the force used excessive in the circumstances?
The courts have indicated that both questions are to answered on the basis of the facts as the accused honestly believed them to be. The jury must then go on to ask themselves whether, on the basis of the facts as the accused believed them to be, a reasonable person would regard the force used as reasonable or excessive.
