Self Defense

Claiming Self-Defense for Criminal Charges

The state of Pennsylvania has a number of laws in place that protect someone’s right to use force, even deadly force, in order to defend themselves. However, there have been recent changes to the laws that give more protections to people who use deadly force. If you are being charged with a crime in which you used force to defend yourself, you have rights that need to be protected by an attorney who understands and can fully apply the state’s self defense laws.

Duty to Retreat Rescinded

The new laws do not require threatened individuals to retreat. This previous “duty to retreat” clause required those who were being victimized to attempt to flee to a safe place or to safely give up possessions before taking action against their attacker. Under the new laws, you do not have to do so.
