      4. When necessarily committed in attempting, by lawful ways and means, to apprehend any person for any felony committed, or in lawfully suppressing any riot, or in lawfully keeping and preserving the peace.

      (Amended by Stats. 1963, Ch. 372.)

      198.

      A bare fear of the commission of any of the offenses mentioned in subdivisions 2 and 3 of Section 197, to prevent which homicide may be lawfully committed, is not sufficient to justify it. But the circumstances must be sufficient to excite the fears of a reasonable person, and the party killing must have acted under the influence of such fears alone.

      (Amended by Stats. 1987, Ch. 828, Sec. 8.)

      198.5.

      Any person using force intended or likely to cause death or great bodily injury within his or her residence shall be presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily injury to self, family, or a member of the household when that force is used against another person, not a member of the family or household, who unlawfully and forcibly enters or has unlawfully and forcibly entered the residence and the person using the force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry occurred.

      As used in this section, great bodily injury means a significant or substantial physical injury.

      (Added by Stats. 1984, Ch. 1666, Sec. 1.)

      199.

      The homicide appearing to be justifiable or excusable, the person indicted must, upon his trial, be fully acquitted and discharged.

      (Enacted 1872.)

      CHAPTER 2. Mayhem [203 — 206.1]

      (Chapter 2 enacted 1872.)

      203.

      Every person who unlawfully and maliciously deprives a human being of a member of his body, or disables, disfigures, or renders it useless, or cuts or disables the tongue, or puts out an eye, or slits the nose, ear, or lip, is guilty of mayhem.

      (Amended by Stats. 1989, Ch. 1360, Sec. 106.)

      204.

      Mayhem is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for two, four, or eight years.

      (Amended by Stats. 1986, Ch. 1424, Sec. 1.)

      205.

      A person is guilty of aggravated mayhem when he or she unlawfully, under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the physical or psychological well-being of another person, intentionally causes permanent disability or disfigurement of another human being or deprives a human being of a limb, organ, or member of his or her body. For purposes of this section, it is not necessary to prove an intent to kill. Aggravated mayhem is a felony punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for life with the possibility of parole.

      (Added by Stats. 1987, Ch. 785, Sec. 1.)

      206.

      Every person who, with the intent to cause cruel or extreme pain and suffering for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion, or for any sadistic purpose, inflicts great bodily injury as defined in Section 12022.7 upon the person of another, is guilty of torture.

      The crime of torture does not require any proof that the victim suffered pain.
