Defense of Others

A defendant is justified in defending another person (Justification Defense) with reasonable force only if he reasonably believed the victim had a right to use such force. Some states limit this defense to scenarios where a special relationship exists between the victim and the defendant, while other states see the defendant as “standing in the shoes” of the person defended.
