Does someone accused of wrongdoing - which is all some states require - lose their right to self-defense?

The statute at issue in this case requires a conviction, not merely an accusation.

“even in states where no proof of physical violence is required to support the domestic violence charge”

Essentially, it requires an accusation. I’ve been married for 27 years, but I’ve seen some vicious, lying ex-wifes who, with support from their friends, would gladly lie to persecute their ex-husband.
