Re: The killing of Doc Brown....murder or self defense?
for an actual answer:
this scenario is akin to someone saying that he plans to come murder you on Friday at 5:00PM. you are 100% sure he will kill you and the only way to stop him is to shoot him now, on Wednesday. is this self defense?
probably not, and the original is probably not either. but i don't know the law. i don't think beign 100% certain that someone is about to kill you is legally possible. you have to stop them in the act so maybe traveling back in time along with doc brown and shooting him as he is putting the gas into the car would count as self defense.
but this would still be flimsy at best.
