Partial Justification

Partial Justification is a legal doctrine within criminal law that, under the genus of affirmative defenses, functions as a mitigating justification recognized when a defendant's use of force stems from an honest but objectively unreasonable belief in the necessity of self-defense, thereby reducing liability or punishment without fully exonerating the actor.
