Are MISTAKES Allowed in SELF-DEFENSE?

You use deadly defensive force because you believe your attacker is coming at you with a knife in hand, and you kill that aggressor--but it later turns out the "knife" was merely a large, black magic marker. In fact, you were MISTAKEN about the threat you perceived.

Does that mistake invalidate your legal justification of self-defense?

Exactly just this mistake happened to Denver police recently, and this week the local prosecutor released his written decision on whether to charge the officers involved.

In today's Law of Self Defense show we cover that event, the DA's charging decision, and the general legal principles around mistakes in self-defense.
