PART 2 - Crim

Rafael cannot successfully claim self-defense in the parricide of his father, Berlin. The law requires a lack of sufficient provocation for self-defense to be valid, and Berlin's discovery of Rafael and his girlfriend engaged in intimate acts constituted sufficient provocation. As a result, Rafael's actions do not meet the criteria for self-defense.

No, Rafael cannot successfully invoke self-defense in the crime of parricide.

Under the Criminal Law, self-defense may be validly be invoked only when there is lack of sufficient
provocation on the part of the person defending himself.

Here, Berlin caught his son and his girlfriend engaged in torrid lovemaking which sufficiently provoked
him to get his pistol, however, before he could shoot his son, Rafael, the latter had already shoot him
and died instantly.

Hence, Rafael cannot successfully invoke self-defense in the crime of parricide.
