Distinguish justifiable homicide from excusable homicide
What will be an ideal response?
• Justifiable homicide is defined as a necessary killing while one is acting legally and includes homicides committed by law enforcement officers while performing their legal duties and protecting the public, the lawful execution of convicted murderers, and self-defense. The killer must not be at fault.
• Excusable homicide involves some fault by the killer, but the fault is so minor it is excused by the law. For example, the death of a child who runs in front of a car or an imperfect self-defense scenario may be considered excusable homicide.
