SHOCKING New Duty-to-Retreat Law! The DISSENT!

Law of Self Defense

Last week the Minnesota Supreme Court filed its ruling in the case of State v. Blevins, a case in which the defendant pulled out a machete on a train platform and brandished it at several people.

Today we read the DISSENT of that ruling.

We previously read the majority opinion of that ruling HERE.

The defendant was charged with felony assault, and raised the legal defense of self-defense. At a bench trial the judge ruled that the defendant's conduct could not qualify as self-defense because he failed to satisfy Minnesota's generalized legal duty to retreat in the context of self-defense.

Minnesota is, indeed, one of the small minority of states (eleven) that impose a generalized legal duty to retreat before deadly force can be used in self-defense--but never before has this duty been expanded to include the mere threat of deadly force, as opposed to the actual use of deadly force.

In today's LIVE show we read through the DISSENT of State v. Blevins, consistent with our mission at Law of Self Defense of basing our understanding of the law of self-defense on ACTUAL law.
