re: #135 Daniel Ballard

I have one question about self defense and an obligation to flee. How high is that burden of proof of that? How might one prove he tried to flee?

You don’t have to prove that you tried to flee. You have to assert it, and to prosecute you, the state would have to disprove it.

Frankly I’m think a proportion of force used to defend seems like a better way to go. Gun vs smaller kid? Now there is a good clue.

It’s not an either/or proposition, though.
