UK: Plans to let victims of domestic abuse get away with murder under way
Submitted by AngryMan on Tue, 2008-07-29 09:48
Outstanding article by Erin Pizzey:
"Yesterday, Ms Harman — who, worryingly, is acting Prime Minister during Gordon Brown’s summer holiday — set out new proposals that may lead to a change in the law in cases of murder involving domestic violence.
Effectively, what Harman and the ultra-feminist lobby want is a licence for women to kill.
If this plan is enacted, we will no longer have absolute justice in this country. Instead, our courts will have to use a carefully calibrated measure of female grievance against which to judge the darkest of all crimes.
The absurdity of the Harman position is the pretence that women in a violent relationship have no alternative but to kill their partners."

Ed note: Also covered here. Excerpt:
'In the first major changes to homicide laws in 50 years, ministers have ruled that other categories of killer, as well as domestic violence victims, should be offered new partial defences of provocation.
They include those 'seriously wronged' by an insult.
Beneficiaries of this change may include those who strike out after long and bitter disputes with neighbours, or victims of a serious crime who are taunted at a later date by the attacker.'

in the addition, there is this quote
'At the moment the law allows him to try to get off a murder charge by claiming she provoked him, for example by being unfaithful.
'It's unacceptable if you've lost a sister, or a mother, to then be told it's her fault because she provoked him.
'Changing the law will end this injustice of women being killed by their husbands and the injustice of them then being blamed.
'And it will end the injustice of the perpetrators making excuses saying it's not their fault.'
This won't end any injustice, it'll just mean instead of making one claim (of being upset about fidelity) now you have to make another (the person "seriously offended" you)
