Talk:Homicide
From Academic Kids
Text removed from the article:
- nor is the legal justification of necessity a defense.
IIRC correctly, that is a serious misunderstanding, and the reality is that lack of a reasonable belief that the killing was necessary is the reason that the defense is seldom successful. I've no reference one way or the other, so i've left the article noncommital.
BTW, there's not a special burden of proof on the defendant for any of these defenses, is there? --Jerzy(t) 22:22, 2004 Apr 14 (UTC)
Culpable homicide
There's something in Indian law called "culpable homicide not amounting to murder". There's already a link to culpable homicide in Union Carbide. I made culpable homicide redirect here, but it should probably redirect to manslaughter in case the two are the same thing referred to by different names in different countries. -- Paddu 04:39, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
