Although Mass may be the weakest link in the US, I can't imagine that rights for criminals have overcome victim's rights to this extent. You must be able to defend your life! Right?

the facts in this matter are:
1) person 'a' gets mugged
2) person 'a' gets weapon from mugger
The key point, from a prosecution perspective is what happened next. Did the mugger try and flee? If he did and person 'a' pursued and attacked, then it is a whole new ball game. However, if the mugger continued to attack, then it remains the same process, provided reasonable force was used to defend yourself.
