Criminal Law: Chapter 10

VOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER
MR + AR of murder BUT there is a DEFENCE

KEY TERMS

Diminished responsibility D was suffering an abnormality of mental functioning which lessened their
responsibility for the killing.

Voluntary manslaughter D would be guilty of murder, but a successful defense has been raised.

LOSS OF CONTROL

Only a defense to a charge of murder. If raised successfully, D will be guilty of manslaughter.

S 54, CORONERS AND JUSTICE ACT 2009 Created the offence and replaced the old defense of
provocation. D must prove:

1) Loss of control

2) D’s actions or omissions were because of a loss of control, resulting from a qualifying trigger

3) A person of D’s sex and age, with a normal degree of tolerance and self-restrain, would have responded
to the trigger in the same way

D MUST LOSE SELF- CONTROL

Only available if D lost control at the time of the killing.

JEWELL (2014) Loss of control includes the loss of the ability to act in accordance with judgment
or a loss of normal powers of reasoning

S 54 (4), CJA 2009 D will not be able to rely on the defense when acting for revenge

S 54 (2), CJA 2009 No need for the loss of control to be sudden. However, the longer between the
qualifying trigger, the more difficult it will be for D to show that they lost control

D MUSTO LOSE SELF-CONTROL AS THE RESULT OF A QUALIFYING TRIGGER

ACOTT (1997) Old law of provocation

S 55, CJA 2009 Three possible qualifying triggers:

1) S 55 (3) Fear of serious violence

2) S 55 (4) A sense of being seriously wronged

3) S 55 (5) A combination of S 55(3) and S 55 (4)

FEAR OF SERIOUS VIOLENCE AS A QUALIFYING TRIGGER

S 55 (3), CJA 2009 Circumstances when this trigger can arise:
