“A person may use nondeadly force upon mother when and to the extent [that] the person reasonably believes [that this use of force] is necessary for self defense against what the person reasonably believes to be the use of unlawful force by the other[.]”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. McGee v. State · Bachmeier v. State“[I]t is not sufficient that the defendant experience heat of passion. Under AS 11.41.115(f)(2), the defendant’s passion must be caused by “conduct ... sufficient to excite an intense passion in a reasonable person in the defendant’s situation[, other than a person who is intoxicated,] under the circumstances as the defendant reasonably believed them to be.” Moreover, under AS 11.41.115(a), the defendant’s use of force must occur “before there [was] a reasonable opportunity for the [defendant’s] passion to cool.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Howell v. State“conduct which is sufficient to excite an intense passion in a reasonable person in the defendant’s situation, other than a person who is intoxicated, under the circumstances as the defendant reasonably believed them to be; insulting words, insulting gestures, or hearsay reports of conduct engaged in by the intended victim do not, alone or in combination with each other, constitute serious provocation.”
