California AB1333 amends the Penal Code to redefine justifiable homicide scenarios.

California AB1333 amends Section 197 of the Penal Code to redefine circumstances under which homicide is justifiable. It specifies that homicide is justifiable when resisting a felony or great bodily harm, defending a person or property against a felonious attack, or in mutual combat where the initial aggressor tried to stop fighting. It also clarifies that deadly force against an intruder within a residence is not affected by these changes. The bill does not require reimbursement for local agencies or school districts.
