Under Michigan law, who is responsible for the decision to use deadly force in self-defense?

  1. The individual using force

  2. A bystander

  3. Law enforcement officials

  4. The state

The correct answer is: The individual using force

In the state of Michigan, the responsibility for deciding to use deadly force in self-defense ultimately falls on the individual using force. This means that it is up to the person facing a threat or attack to use the necessary level of force to protect themselves. This decision cannot be made by a bystander or law enforcement officials, as they are not the ones directly facing the danger. Additionally, it is not the state's responsibility to make this decision for individuals in self-defense situations. It is important to note that the use of deadly force should always be a last resort and only used when necessary to prevent harm or danger.
