Imperfect Self-defense

Imperfect Self-Defense is a partial defense in criminal homicide law in which a killing committed under an honest but unreasonable belief in the necessity of using deadly force to avert an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm is treated as lacking the malice required for murder, thereby mitigating the offense (typically) from murder to manslaughter.
