aty first as i was outraged. on the radio it was reported as being a defence only for females. what about men who are domestically abused and driven to the same actions as a woman?
ive later learned its a defence for anyone who meets the criteria of
proven domestic abuse + for a long time + plus murdering in cold blood could equal a defence manslaughter.
now i know its for both men and woman, i dont know what to think.
one thought is, could this lead to a lot of women getting away with murder? is it more likely an abusive man would be murdered than an abusive woman? it could be easy just to fabricate an abusive husband story, they happen all the time.
but a man would rarely report domestic abuse against him to the police, it might make him look less of a man. therefore, hes lacking some proof he was abused. when he does finally snap and kill her, its harder for him to fabricate an abusive wife story.
maybe im talking shit though, what do you think of it?
also, murdering because of adultery will no longer be manslaughter. couldnt you argue though that emotional pain is the same as physical pain? so it should be the same defence as this new one.
just another way to kill someone now.
