Crime of Passion

I really don't think it matters what the reason was. Unless it is self defense I don't thiink one has the right to take another's life period. I couldn't see any reason to ever hurt anyone either. Everyone needs to learn how to walk away from these problems that make us so jealous and mad. I know anger takes over sometimes,but these are things we all need to work on. Nothing done to you is ever deserving of an act so malicios.

It proberly will give him less time. In a way you can't blame the husband. Although it would of been easier to kick her out or to tell her to leave if she was going to continue with her affair.

Goodness that is bad, I mean I know it hurts when something like that happens in a Marriage but to shoot someone for it that is terrible. Sorry but I think that Teacher will have to be punished for that, he took a Life and it was not a valid reason to shoot someone, Crime of Passion or not.

It's very possible he will definetly be a suspect, however, there has to be thourough investigation to prove he had a part in it, also to prove that the student was having an affair with this teacher. It's very possible the husband found something or found out something and instead of talking to his wife was so furious he went after the kid. I can tell you with so many different stories I hear from the media and just day to day life, it wild what people will do for love...

a great factor to be considered to properly answer your question is the definition of the crime with which the husband has been charged... next would be how mitigating circumstances are appreciated.. when and under what circumstances was the victim killed? was the teacher and her alleged lover-student caught in flagrante delicto (in the act of committing an unlawful deed) when they were shot by the husband? if that were so, as a lawyer, it could be argued that it was in self defense that the teacher was shot- a defense of the husband's honor. that would probably work especially if they would have a jury with guys thinking "yeah, i'm a man!"

Husband is going to be jailed, no matter what, I don't understand these kind of people....This is madness how things get screwed up sometimes...

I'm not privy with this case but if the defendant does plead guilty then he'll probably have a relatively lesser punishment in exchange for pleading guilty as oppose to losing in court where he'll face the full brunt of the law. If this is considered as a crime of passion though, I doubt that he'll plead guilty. I don't know much about U.S. law but crimes of passion is usually a mitigating factor in a case.

There are certain law on crime of passion. When the husband will be able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the victim was having an affair with his wife, there is a posibility that he can be aquited. In our country if you have witnessed your spouse with another and killed them, you may be aquited.

the crime can only be mitigated if the suspect pleads guilty of the crime... although in the US, they have a jury system of court proceeding, still the same, a verdict of murder is likely to be given. murder is defined as the unlawful killing of any person which is not parricide or infanticide, provided that any of the following is present: 1. treachery; 2. with evident premeditation; 3. with cruelty. if these 3 qualifying circumstances can be proven beyond reasonable doubt by the jury, then a murder was committed.

Since it's just speculation and there is no proof that they really are carrying an affair, then I could say that it MAY NOT be considered as crime of passion. Crime of passion only becomes that when one becomes overwhelmed with emotions and is blinded by rage and jealously beyond rationality such as catching ones partner in the act of commiting such crime. If the situation under consideration actually allows the suspect some time to consider and think of his actions without witnessing incriminating behaviors, then I think it's more a murder than crime of passion.

To criminate sb,the motivation and the infection are the two important parts,I mean just in China's law.In this case,the husband,as a murdre,killed the senior student.We can make it as a retorsion.Follow this opinnion,you will find that ,it's impossable to reduse his crime.If not ,we are giving a wrong signal that we are encourage peaple to make retaliate.That my thought ,as a human without proffesional law knownleadge.
