How do you determine whether actions are considered criminal when defensible

In sport, they say "a good offence is a great defence". To put it another way, you get them before they get you. Focusing on the 3 cases discussed in our lectures, please explain how that concept may be applicable in the Canadian Criminal Justice, in 20 lines or less. Please include the names and the circumstances of the three relevant cases that support this notion. Please also include any relevant section of the legislation that applies. Students will receive 1 mark each for the points raised in response.

How does the concept of an action being defensible apply to procedures and strategies that you may use—or be required to use— as a police officer, a defense attorney, and a prosecutor when preparing for a case where the defendant plans to state that they did commit the crime, but that they are not guilty because the action was defensible?
