Read the text about defenses in Great Britain, translate the words given in bold and answer the questions. Defenses If actus and mens have been proved, a defendant may still avoid guilt if he can show he has a defense—a reason the court should excuse his act. Different systems of law recognize different and usually limited sets of defenses. For example, English law sometimes allow the defense of duress—being forced to commit a crime because of threats that you or someone else will be harmed if you don't. Duress may be used as a defense against the charge of murder as a secondary party (helping the murderer), but is not available if the defendant is charged as the principal murderer. Another defense is that of insanity. In most countries a person cannot be found guilty of a crime if in a doctor's opinion he cannot have been responsible for his actions because of mental illness. But this defense requires careful proof. If it is proven the defendant will not be sent to a prison, but instead to a mental hospital. It might be argued that a person is not responsible for his actions if he is intoxicated—drunk or under the influence of drugs. In fact, an intoxicated person may not even know what he is doing and thus lacks mens rea. However, in Britain and many other countries, there is a general principle that people who knowingly get themselves intoxicated must be held responsible for their acts. Consequently, intoxication is not a defense. Nearly every system of law recognizes the defense of self-defense. In English law, a defendant can avoid guilt for injuring someone if he can convince the court that the force he used was reasonable to protect himself in the circumstances. In some countries, shooting an unarmed burglar would be recognized as self-defense, but in other it might be considered unreasonable force.
Exercise 16. Read the story, and then follow the instructions. As he left for a visit to his outlying districts, the jealous Baron warned his pretty wife: «Do not leave the castle while 1 am gone, or I will punish you severely when I return!» But as the hours passed, the young Baroness grew lonely, and despite her husband's warning, decided to visit her lover who lived in the countryside nearby. The castle was located on an island in a wide, fast flowing river, with a drawbridge linking the island and the land at the narrowest point in the river. «Surely my husband will not return before dawn», she thought, and ordered her servants to lower the drawbridge and leave it down until she returned. After spending several pleasant hours with her lover, the Baroness returned to the drawbridge, only to find it blocked by a madman wildly waving a long and cruel knife. «Do not attempt to cross this bridge, Baroness, or I will kill you», he raved. Fearing for her life, the Baroness returned to her lover and asked him to help. «Our relationship is only a romantic one», he said. «I will not help». The Baroness then sought out a boatman on the river, explained her plight to him, and asked him to take her across the river in his boat. «I will do it, but only if you can pay my fee of five marks». «But I have no money with me!» the Baroness protested. «That is too bad. No money, no ride», the boatman said flatly. Her fear growing, the Baroness ran crying to the home of a friend, and after again explaining the situation, begged for enough money to pay the boatman his fee. «If you had not disobeyed your husband, this would not have happened», the friend said. «I will give you no money». With dawn approaching and her last resource exhausted, the Baroness returned to the bridge in desperation, attempted to cross to the castle, and was slain by the madman. DIRECTIONS: In the story above, there are six characters. They are (in alphabetical order): The Baron The Friend The Baroness The Lover The Boatman The Madman Using the list above, rank the characters (from 1 to 6) in the order of their responsibility for the death of the Baroness. One is most responsible and 6 is least responsible for the death. |
