State of Arizona, Appellee v. Guadalupe Lujan, Appellant

Summary

The court held that the trial court properly refused to give self-defense instructions because the evidence showed no legally sufficient basis for self-defense. The defendant participated in a continuing aggression initiated by the occupants of his vehicle, and there was no evidence that they withdrew before the shooting. The court therefore disapproved the Court of Appeals' contrary ruling and affirmed the convictions and sentences.
