ORIGINAL: WhoreMods Did they find any evidence of the bloodbath they turned up expecting? I don't see why the fuck they should get the benefit of the doubt after shooting an innocent man over their assumptions. It's going to be the second time I've asked this particular question, though it will be the first time I've asked it to you. Fast Eddie couldn't be bothered, so I'll try you, instead. Have you really thought this whole thing through? Based on every bit of information, that you actually believe, and have internalized in a way that only people in certain professions will ever know, tell me, as a decent man, that you would need to *SEE* that particular blood bath. Keep in mind how many reported (and unreported) instances that you've been exposed to. People who really do kill their partners, and yes, people who really do set their own children on fire. Take the whole eight seconds to think about it. ETA - quote:
ORIGINAL: WhoreMods Involuntary manslaughter? Does that mean there's such a thing as voluntary manslaughter? I thought the whole distinction between manslaughter and murder was down to not deliberately setting out to kill somebody. Yeah, there actually is. In criminal law, there are three aspects to determine charges. Intent, action, and what's known as predetermination. Involuntary manslaughter, as a generalization, means whatever scenario is going on, I didn't have the *intention* of harming you. I made a mistake or there was an accident of some kind, but my actions made you end up dead. Think of things like I ran a red light and you died in the car wreck. Voluntary manslaughter are cases like, yes, I meant to harm you, I just didn't expect you to die. Stuff like we were having a bar fight or I *meant* to hit you with the car, I just didn't really think it was going to kill you. So-called "crimes of passion" are often in this category. Murder, first degree or second degree, has the premeditation element. I planned it, I executed it, and my goal about this whole thing was for you to end up dead. I wasn't provoked with the threat of bodily harm, and it's not some kind of 'at the moment' decision. That's the basic gist. How do things work in the UK?
