Here's one of the "best" (read: worst) excuses of "it was self-defense" I've read in a long time.
Story:
In Hellertown, Pennsylvania, a 19-year-old male was arrested by police after assaulting his stepmother, according to nj.com.
The teenager allegedly threatened to kill her. He punched and kicked the woman unconscious -- also kicking her down a flight of stairs. Why? Because the woman said she would call police when she discovered he was using her credit card.
The woman later told police she feared for her life because the teenager had been abusive in the past.
The "lights are on, but there's nobody home" stepson told police, "I took no chances" indicating he assaulted her in self-defense.
Police said the woman suffered from a fractured left ankle, which required surgery. She had a severely swollen left eye and damaged eye socket, which may need surgery, as well as severe bruising and a cut to her mouth.
Yes of course, the poor kid fought back in self-defense...
