The Ministry of Justice has stressed that the law would be changed to make it clear that someone who discovers their partner is having an affair would be unable to argue they had been “seriously wronged”
BBC NEWS | Changes in murder laws proposed.
Damn we are getting liberal. At least this currently rules out “He pulled out at the junction and I felt ’seriously wronged’ so I axe manslaughtered his arse Milud”
This does open up one really interesting possibility though… Should the law be passed, Aquila should seriously worry about retribution from all their client base… It may be worth 7 years with probation.
There is a superb drama on TV at the moment “Criminal Justice” that puts the British justice system in an interesting light when you compare it to the TV interpretations of the US version of ‘law’. I’m up to episode 3 where the defence tried to argue self defence against the wishes of the defendant.
Given the brief exposure I have had to the British Justice System I think it may be scarily accurate. It should be enough to stop idiots offending in the first place.
