I think they call it paraphrasingWildBill wrote: Many people use the phrase "in fear of my life", but this is not written in Texas law.
If you can provide the section in the penal code that states that, I will change my mind.
Or perhaps one my describe it as interpretation In any case
(a) A person is justified in using deadly force against another:
(2)(A) to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force.
If I am using deadly force in the context above, would I not be doing so because I am in fear of my life?
So is "in fear of my live" a verbatim cite from the law? not that i can find.
Is it clearly what the law is stating? I believe so. , and so does every person i know and associate with that might be called to sit a jury.
All that said your point is spot on,, the words are NOT in the law.
