I'm mostly just upset that the scale is $/m and not m/$ because clearly the author wanted to show video games as the big winners.

Spotted this in the Gay Marriage thread in D&D: What it looks like: Every state except California allows evil people to murder trans people and get away with it! What it actually means: In California, this defense will not work because the law says so and the judge will strike it from the record. Elsewhere in the US, this defense will not work because the prosecution isn't going to let psychopaths on the jury.

It'd probably be more accurate to say that Scientology ∈ paranormal bollocks ∩ religious bollocks ∩ quackery bollocks ∩ psuedoscientific bollocks, as you haven't proved that Scientology is the only member of that intersection.

Hyperlynx posted:Sadly, it does not take psychopaths. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_panic_defense Not sure why you're looking upon that "sadly," as in not a single case listed there has it resulted in a jury finding the attacker not guilty: quote:In 1987, Joseph Mitchell Parsons, who called himself the "Rainbow Warrior",[21] claimed that he killed Richard Lynn Ernest to defend against a homosexual advance, but was unable to present any evidence at trial to support this claim...Parsons was executed by lethal injection at Utah State Prison in October 1999. Absent even a single case where a "gay panic" defense leads to an acquittal I'm not sure that a law prohibiting it is a necessary thing. Or even a wise thing, as we generally let defendants make whatever defense claims they feel like bringing up. They may be ridiculous and they may be barred by the judge in the case, but they're rarely excluded as a matter of law from even being attempted. This one seems especially questionable as a working defense, because a necessary element of "I killed him because he freaked me out by being gay" is "I killed him," which is the kind of thing you *don't* want to admit to the court.

The fact that "gay/trans panic" makes your decision to murder someone somehow less serious than if they weren't gay/trans. On the information provided, there's no basis whatsoever to say that a gay panic defense had anything to do with the outcome of any case. Parsons presented no evidence at trial to support his claim, and was executed. Schmitz's attempted defense was pretty clearly rejected because claiming diminished capacity for a crime you commit *three days after* the event that supposedly diminished your capacity doesn't pass a laugh test; he was charged with second-degree murder, and that's what he was convicted of. In the Shephard case, the diminished capacity defense was disallowed by the judge. McGee pled out before it even went to trial. The only one where there's any indication that the prosecution settled for lesser charges than they felt were warranted was Cazares, who they offered a plea deal after being unable to secure a conviction, twice, and Cazares was only tied to the crime a month after the others defendants was arrested, when he was implicated by another defendant who was offered a manslaughter plea in exchange for his testimony against the other three; that case was messy enough that you literally can't say that one defendant's gay panic defense affected the outcome at all. To the contrary, both the DA and the victim's own mother said that the jury rejected that defense: http://www.ebar.com/news/article.php?sec=news&article=153 quote:Justice, in many respects, has been served, according to Araujo's family. Perhaps most importantly, said some advocates, Monday's murder verdicts soundly reject the "trans panic" defense, which argued that deadly violence should be expected or excused if it is committed in response to the discovery of a partner's transgender status. Defense attorneys claimed, to varying degrees, that the victim's "sexual deception" provoked a "heat of passion" response that lessened the defendants' culpability in Araujo's killing; the jury, in refusing to deliver convictions of manslaughter and lesser charges, did not allow such a defense to have merit. Interestingly, the California law in question doesn't actually bar the defense from claiming "gay panic made me do it." It actually doesn't concern itself with the accused at all, and is concerned about anti-gay bias on the part of the *jury*. In other words, it's not concerned with the idea that a defendant may claim gay panic, it's concerned with the idea that certain members of the jury might hear such a defense and say "Okay, yeah, gays are icky, not guilty." It states that in any criminal trial, if any of the parties to the case requests it, the court shall instruct the jury by saying "Do not let bias, sympathy, prejudice, or public opinion influence your decision. Bias includes bias against the victim or victims, witnesses, or defendant based upon his or her disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation.” That's it. It doesn't ban any defense. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=200520060AB1160 It's a feel-good law of zero practical importance.

Right, that's the problem. It'd be like if Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin all shared the same space and just changed based on country encoding. e: Actually, I guess that was the status quo under code pages, when everything was just the ASCII space mapped to different encodings. foobardog has a new favorite as of 23:04 on Mar 22, 2016 |
