This is the Study Guide used in class with my added notes. This includes a summary of all the different sections of voluntary manslaughter, including cases, judgements and explanations.
Diminished Responsibility and Loss of
Control are two PARTIAL and SPECIFIC
defences to murder. This means they
cannot be used for any other criminal
offence!
They reduce a murder conviction to
voluntary manslaughter.
Be careful not to call them offences as
they are DEFENCES!
