Question Presented (from Petition)

Did the Oregon courts err in holding that there is no Constitutional right of self-defense except for when someone like the judge would have behaved the same way under a purely "objective" "reasonable person" standard, thus excluding all evidence of defendant's prior experiences, defendant's state of mind at the time, and defendant's intent in general?
