Understanding Self-Defense Situations
Hello, this is Tulsa criminal defense attorney Brian Carter with the Wirth Law Office, and in this video, I’m going to discuss what you should do if you’re involved in a self-defense shooting. The first thing you should do is call 911 if you can, and if you can’t, that’s not a problem either, but it’s best if you can call 911.
Once law enforcement arrives, do not make any statements to any of the officers on scene. Then, ask for a shock blanket, some water, and to be transported to the hospital. You may not think so, but you will be in shock, and then lastly, it’s important to advise the officer that you will seek legal counsel and make a statement at a later time.
Legal Considerations After a Self-Defense Incident
After a self-defense situation, it’s crucial to protect your legal rights. By refraining from making immediate statements, you prevent potential misinterpretation of your actions. Ensure you get medical attention to address both physical and emotional trauma.
Having legal representation is essential. Inform the officers that you wish to speak with an attorney before making any detailed statements. This ensures your side of the story is accurately represented.
