People v. Goetz, 68 N.Y.2d 96 (N.Y. 1986), "one of the most controversial cases in recent American history", was a court case involving subjective and objective standards of reasonableness in using deadly force for self-defense. The final decision was written by Chief Judge Sol Wachtler in the New York Court of Appeals (the highest court in the state). While the decision does not mention it, this case sparked a media frenzy at the time due to the circumstances of the underlying incident. The defendant, Bernhard Goetz, was both vilified and exalted in the press and in public opinion.
