A quick definition of true defense:

True defense is a reason given by a person who is being accused of something, explaining why they should not be held responsible. It can be an answer, denial, or plea. An affirmative defense is when the accused presents facts and arguments that, if true, would defeat the plaintiff's or prosecutor's claim. There are also other types of defenses, such as the insanity defense, perfect defense, and real defense. The defense can be used by a defendant and their lawyer in court to oppose the plaintiff or prosecutor's case.
