I was curious if anyone knows how the laws come down in Utah regarding Castle Doctrine issues.
I know that citizens have the right to defend themselves in their homes and cars and other places that have a legal right to be. My question is what happens in the aftermath of a situation.
So I'm curious if there are any provisions in Utah code or law that say pretty much the same thing and give protection to someone that has to use lethal force.
Thanks for any info.

For instance, in Florida the Castle Doctrine says the following:
It provides that persons using force authorized by law shall not be prosecuted for using such force.
It also prohibits criminals and their families from suing victims for injuring or killing the criminals who have attacked them.
