Self defense murder is when you kill in the name of self defense. For example- Mrs. Klein is walking down the street with a box a culinary that she has just purchased for her new home with her husband Harold. She is on Milton Ave. when she realized that there is somebody following her. Just when she is about to run, the man attacks her. She thinks fast and pulls out a knife from her culinary box. When the man tries to grab her to take her away to do God knows what, she stabs him. That is self defense murder, because some would call it self defense, and others would call it murder, because of how it would stand up in court. I hope i answered your question!

∙ 14y agoMurder isn't considered self defense. They are two different things, two different words with different definitions. If you mean "killing," killing and murder aren't always the same thing. Murder is killing unjustly. Killing another person can sometimes be justified by law.
If someone runs at you with a knife and is planning to stab you with it you'll probably fight back. If you were to kill him in that fight it could be considered self defence.

Why does the prosecutor indict a defendant with felony murder charges but the defendant only acted in self defense?
If self defense is your defense against the crime of murder - you will have to refute the prosecutors evidence in court and convince the jury that it WAS self defense. Next: Self defense is what is known as an "affirmative defense" to prosecution, and the burden of proof is entirely up to you. It is not the role of the Prosecutor to present your defense to the Court. Your best friend right now is your legal counsel - your attorney. If you are charged with a criminal offense and have no attorney, and no way of providing one for yourself, the Court will appoint an attorney for you. That is the person you need to be speaking with, and if you have been charged with murder, may I say you desperately need to be talking to an attorney. And NOBODY else until you have talked to your attorney. And I do mean NOBODY.
