| There can be no doubt that the magistrates were entitled to reject the argument of self-defence or defence of another. |
| There you might be convicted of manslaughter on the basis of excessive self-defence. |
| The jury had clearly rejected self-defence and the judge therefore had to make some sense of it. |
| These features of the defence of self-defence are critical to the outcome of this appeal. |
| Plainly this defence must not be confused with self-defence under public international law. |
| That was the trial judge's view as well and he did not leave self-defence to the jury. |
