Under Kentucky law, which of the following is considered justifiable use of deadly force?

  1. To protect property

  2. Self-defense when facing an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury

  3. To stop someone from fleeing after committing a felony

  4. Any time you feel threatened

The correct answer is: Self-defense when facing an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury

The Kentucky law allows for the use of deadly force in self-defense when facing an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury. This means that if someone is facing the possibility of death or serious physical injury, they can use deadly force to protect themselves. The other options listed are not considered justifiable use of deadly force under Kentucky law. Using deadly force to protect property, to stop someone from fleeing after committing a felony, or just based on feeling threatened are not justifiable reasons and could result in criminal charges.
