Tennessee's Castle Doctrine - it is not what you think it is
Show Notes

John Harris discusses Tennessee's "castle doctrine" which is not what many people think it is.  It is instead a set of conditions that under the particular facts of a specific incident address whether someone has a duty to retreat prior to resorting to deadly force.  It also creates and qualifies a rebuttable presumption regarding the element of "imminent fear of death or serious bodily injury"
