THE RIGHT TO KILL IN MAKING ARRESTS
Abstract
Under what conditions may one kill, if necessary to effectuate arrest? This is at the present time a moot problem, which lay discussion and judicial opinion have not entirely clarified. Inasmuch as situations are daily presented whose solution depends on the law in this subject, an examination thereof is not without occasion. Stripped of complications and extraneous elements, the problem is simple, namely,
May one kill, if necessary to effectuate arrest?: A. In misdemeanor cases. B. In felony cases.
