They are – but so are the generation they are being aimed at.

Not much about that article suggests she was wrongly convicted.

It sounds like she's had a very messy, troubled childhood but if you stab someone in the heart and kill them then

I don't know how you could argue it is anything different. I seen the same organisation are trying to defend another women who bludgeoned her partner to death with a hammer too.

Are they trying to argue it's manslaughter?

Yeah. Looks like an argument around her mental capacity and earlier abuse as provocation.

This is quite badly written but I found it online and it might give you an overview of culpable homicide/manslaughter.

She sounds pretty radge, tbh. Sounds like they had a love-hate relationship that probably got physical occasionally, maybe even quite often. Night in question, they're at it and she stabs him but both don't think it's that bad initially, if she even knew where she stabbed him. Spiral out of control for him without her realising or really caring (as usual). In teh old days she would have been executed, and for the most part nobody would have given a toss.

A lad I used to coach was fatally assaulted late last year but to my knowledge, despite initially having a suspect (young women), no charges have been laid.

Morph - in Scotland, you can argue that you should be convicted of culpable homicide instead of murder on the basis of "diminished responsibility".



It's ultimately for the jury to decide. The case of Galbraith v HMA from 2002 is about a woman who killed her partner after suffering domestic abuse over a period of years - it was held that the jury should be allowed to consider culpable homicide on that basis.

Obviously it's not the same as saying "you are allowed to kill your partner if they abuse you", but it reflects that people can be driven to do the wrong thing in desperate circumstances.

That makes sense.  I would agree that there needs to be a lesser sentence for folk regarding circumstances like that.

Was her partner abusing her?  I read it pretty quickly at work but thought I had read it as the abuse and neglect came from her childhood and she's went too far after an argument with her boyfriend.
