Perfect Self-defense (law)




a claim of self-defense that meets all of the generally accepted legal conditions for such a claim to be valid. Where deadly force is used perfect self-defense requires that, in light of the circumstances, the defendant reasonably believed it to be necessary to kill the decedent to avert imminent death or great bodily harm, and the defendant was not the initial aggressor nor was responsible for provoking the fatal confrontation.
