¶1Concurring opinion by:

ALMA L. LÓPEZ, Justice.

¶2I reluctantly concur with the majority opinion regarding the requirement for a jury instruction on the issue of self-defense against multiple assailants. The state of the law in this area clearly requires this court to reverse the trial court’s judgment; however, on these facts the reversal seems to unfairly prejudice law enforcement officers who have sworn to uphold the laws of this state and who are routinely thrust into life-threatening situations to protect the public.
