Murder Laws Changed
July 30, 2008
The government has proposed changes in murder laws it has been said today. The main alteration will be that those who underwent years of domestic abuse and one day kill their partner, will potentially get man slaughter instead of murder charges.
This is not just limited to husband and wife, but also those that were “seriously wronged” by the victim. Could this open the door for lesser sentences for gang violence? I think that this could be a slippery slope as often much of what is known about the particulars is hearsay.
The new defense legislation has a long way to go, and will meet public consultation first. These law amendments would only be used in exceptional cases.
I think that it is about time that changes were made to our laws, many of them are now out of date.
