Brown v. United States (1921) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Brown v. United States (1921)
''Brown v. United States'', 〔256 U.S. 335 (1921)〕 was a United States Supreme Court case where the Court held that if a person is attacked, and that person reasonably believes that he is in immediate danger of death or grievous bodily injury, he has no duty to retreat and may stand his ground and, if he kills his attacker, he has not exceeded the bounds of lawful self-defense. ==Background== Brown, the petitioner, and Hermes, the individual killed, had a previous history. Evidence indicated that Hermes assaulted Brown with a knife on two prior occasions and that Hermes threatened that the next time one of them would be taken away in a black box. Given this history, Brown took a handgun with him while supervising excavation work for a post office and put it nearby. Hermes arrived and, according to Brown, came at him with a knife. Brown retreated approximately twenty to twenty-five feet to where he left the pistol and, with Hermes striking at Brown, fired four shots, killing Hermes. A jury convicted Brown of second degree murder after being instructed by the court that, when considering self-defense, the individual assaulted has a duty to retreat as long as retreat is open to him and would not be dangerous to his person.
