Questão jurídica principal
Whether X acted in self-defense or putative self-defense when stabbing A after the stone-throwing confrontation.
Decisão extraída
No actionable self-defense situation existed because the attack by stones had ended before the knife assault, and X was not shown to have acted under an erroneous belief that the attack continued.
Fundamentação extraída
Once the stone attack was over, the later fight did not constitute an ongoing unlawful attack. The court accepted the lower court's factual findings that the hostile act had been completed and that X did not knife A because of the earlier stones.
