In the aftermath of the George Zimmerman / Trayvon Martin case, we often get the question whether California is a so-called "stand your ground" state in terms of self-defense law. In this video, a former Los Angeles prosecutor (now a criminal defense lawyer) explains that the answer is yes. Under California law, a person may use lawful and justified force in self-defense even if he failed to take advantage of opportunities to avoid the the fight, altercation or confrontation. Said another way, under California law, there is no duty to retreat before exercising a valid right of self-defense.
