How to lose the right to self defense?

Self-defense is an affirmative defense that can legally justify the use of force and even the use of deadly force. But what happens if the defendant was the initial aggressor or provoked the victim in some way — can the defendant still claim self-defense? Professor Kimberly Ferzan of the University of Pennsylvania School of Law discusses under what circumstances defendants may forfeit their defensive rights, what it means to be an initial aggressor or a provocateur, and how courts interpret the differences between the two? Kimberly Kessler Ferzan is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She is a national expert on criminal law and criminal procedure. ► http://www.talksonlaw.com for more legal explainers and interviews with the titans of law. ► Facebook:   / talksonlaw   ► Instagram:   / talksonlaw   ► Twitter:   / talksonlaw   ____________________ Interview Outline 00:00 Introduction of criminal law expert, Prof. Kimberly Ferzan of U.
