Claiming Self-Defense

Self defense 2

A Missouri court will not consider the defense of self-defense against a charge of assault, murder, or some other violent crime unless the defendant can show that a reasonable person believes that deadly force is necessary to protect the defendant against immediate death or serious physical injury.
