General purpose of Justification/Choice of Evils statute (28-1407) is to:

• A. Provides a defense of a justification for the use of force not otherwise specified in the other statutory sections like self defense. That is, it may provide a defense where other statutes don't provide protection
• B. Establishes strict liability
• C. Prohibits use of force entirely
• D. Requires police authorization

Answer: (A)

Choice of Evils provides a defense when the actor commits an unlawful act to prevent a greater harm and there is no better lawful option. In other words, it serves as a catch-all justification for the use of force not specifically covered by other defenses (like self-defense or defense of others). This is why it’s described as a general justification that can apply when the circumstances show the lesser harm was chosen to avert a greater one. It does not create strict liability, it does not ban the use of force, and it does not require police authorization.
