You represent Katz and
must draft well-reasoned legal arguments to support his claim of self-defense
for each of the following scenarios. Make sure to successfully address possible
arguments that may be made by the prosecutor against the claims of self-defense.
Also, articulate and integrate at least 1 biblical principle that supports the
justification of self-defense for Katz.
a.     
Assume that before Katz fired any shots, he said, “I have
no money.” Then the two youths turned their backs to Katz and moved a few feet
away from him, which is as far as they could move because they were at the end
of the car already. Katz takes aim at each youth and fires at their backs.
b.    
Assume that instead of firing any shots, Katz shows the
handle of the gun to the four youths, and that he “flashes” it in a threatening
manner that suggests that he will use it if he is not left alone. Assume that
one of the youths does have a gun concealed in his jacket, and that in response
to Katz “flashing” of the gun, the youth pulls out his weapon and points it at
Katz. Katz immediately draws and fires at this youth.
