No, it literally isn't.
They are two separate and unrelated legal concepts. I'm sorry but you are literally wrong.
A "right" is something a state body (and usually third parties) must actively facilitate. I am required to get a fair trial, and if that needs the stare to wait to try me or build more courthouses they must proactively do that.
A defense is not. A defense is literally just "we will not find you guilty or liable in court due to this." But nobody is required to go out of the way to help you achieve it. You just can't be sued or suffer a criminal penalty for it.
