He can use it as a defense, but I don't suggest going up against the prosecutor without an attorney. I can't imagine that the judge would even allow him to proceed without an attorney.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

The use of a reasonable amount of force to defend oneself is a valid defense to a charge of assault. He needs the services of an attorney.

Call me if you like.
