Abstract
Imagine you are a state legislator. Before you comes the following proposal to amend the state’s penal code: When a defendant is charged with murder and pleads self-defense, any belief he formed (at the moment he chose to use deadly force) that the use of deadly force was necessary to protect himself against deadly force is unreasonable if he would not have formed that belief but for an implicit racial attitude. How should you vote? I believe you should vote to table the proposal. The article explains why I believe you should vote that way.
