About this video
You see a stranger being beaten in a parking lot and you act. Texas law protects that instinct through Penal Code § 9.33 — but a stranger is a special case, because you know nothing about how the fight started. Brian Foley explains why the law judges you on what you reasonably believed, not on what turned out to be true.
