Which of the following is a legal requirement to use deadly force in self-defense in Alabama?

You must not be the aggressor
You must be in your own home
You must retreat if safe to do so
A and B

The correct answer is: A and B

In Alabama, one of the legal requirements to use deadly force in self-defense is that you must not be the aggressor. This means that you cannot be the one who started or escalated the confrontation. Additionally, being in your own home is not a legal requirement to use deadly force in self-defense in Alabama. The Castle Doctrine law in Alabama does allow individuals to use deadly force in self-defense in their own home, but this is not a universal requirement for self-defense outside of the home. Retreat if safe to do so, also known as the Duty to Retreat, is not a legal requirement in Alabama. So, the correct answer is D, because the requirement of not being the aggressor is a key factor in determining if the use of deadly force in self-defense is justified in Alabama.
