红星新闻记者就此采访纽约法拉盛安娜律师事务所黛蜜琪律师(Anna Demidchik)。对方表示,美国各州对于司法当中的“正当防卫”规定不同,案发地所在的宾州有“Stand Your Ground Law”,即“不退让法”,主要内容是当你受到非法攻击的时候,你没有退让的义务,可以进行进攻性的自我防备。
An elderly patient needed a heart transplant and discussed his options with his doctor. The doctor said, "We have 3 possible donors; the 1st is a young, healthy athlete who died in an automobile accident, the 2nd is a middle-aged businessman who never drank or smoked and who died flying his private jet. The 3rd is an attorney who died after practicing law for 30 years. Which do you want?"
"I'll take the lawyer's heart," said the patient.
After a successful transplant, the doctor asked the patient why he had chosen the donor he did. "It was easy," said the patient, "I wanted a heart that hadn't been used."
是否是正当防卫,美国法律界有三条以下标准:Ability,Opportunity,Jeopardy。简称A, O, J. 华男三条都拥有,完全属正当自我防卫。
Important Definitions:
Ability means that the other person has the power to kill or to cripple you.
Opportunity means that the circumstances are such that the other person would be able to use his ability against you.
Jeopardy means that the other person’s actions or words provide you with a reasonably-perceived belief that he intends to kill you or cripple you.
据外媒报道,11月20日凌晨左右,家住美国宾夕法尼亚州的一名华裔男性,在回家时遇到三名非裔男子持枪抢劫。华人男子见状声称钱财在车上,在分散歹徒注意力时,拔枪射击三名抢劫者,造成一死两伤。受害华人男子没有受伤,财产也没有损失,警方正在进一步调查此案。
本案在当地华人圈引发关注,当事人此举是否面临司法起诉成为焦点。

↑在劫匪放松警惕之际,华人男子趁机掏出自己的手枪,向三名劫匪开枪。
不过,黛蜜琪律师认为,本案中有可能面临争议的是,当事人在整个过程中开枪约十次,且在劫匪已撤退求饶时,当事人仍然追击并开枪。在劫匪撤退求饶过程中开枪的必要性,以及是否有防卫过当嫌疑,或将成为当事人是否面临起诉的关键点。
