What is sufficient evidence to support the third element of the element of murder?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Bernik, C071777 (Cal. App. 2016):
Sufficient evidence also supports the third element of murder; the jury's determination that defendant killed without justification. For a killing in defense of another to be justified, the defendant must actually and reasonably fear that the person is in imminent danger of great bodily injury or death. (People v. Humphrey (1996) 13 Cal.4th 1073, 1082.)
