Steve, California has strong self-defense laws, including the "Castle Doctrine," which allows individuals to use force to protect themselves in their home. Key points:
- The felon unlawfully entered your home.
- Your brother reasonably feared for his life and yours.
Consult a criminal defense attorney immediately to guide your brother through the legal process.
Is there anything specific you need help with?
Should I give the cops the video
The police are asking to see the recording that the witness has should we show it to the cops or wait for an attorney
