Under AB-1333, deadly force would no longer be legally justified: • in defense of a habitation or property • if the victim could have safely retreated, but only if outside their residence • if excessive force is used, beyond what was deemed necessary for defense (https://www.veeto.app/bill/1980230 https://www.veeto.app/bill/1980230) So while it does have implications for when self-defense is justified, and does introduce ambiguous language which could make it more difficult for victims to claim self defense, it does not criminalize self-defense, per se.
