When is it legally permissible to use deadly force in self-defense in Michigan?

  1. When there is a reasonable belief of imminent death or great bodily harm

  2. When someone is stealing your car

  3. When verbally threatened

  4. When trespassing on your property is detected

The correct answer is: When there is a reasonable belief of imminent death or great bodily harm

In Michigan, the use of deadly force in self-defense is justified only when there is a reasonable belief of imminent death or great bodily harm. This means that the individual must have a genuine fear for their own safety and believe that they or someone else will suffer severe harm or death unless they use deadly force to defend themselves. Option B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not meet the criteria of a reasonable belief of imminent death or great bodily harm. Stealing a car, verbal threats, and trespassing on property do not pose an immediate threat to personal safety. In these cases, the use of deadly force would not be considered legally permissible in self-defense in Michigan.
