I didn’t post anything before because I was listening and I thought I hadn’t heard it right, but it seems I didn’t mishear, the judge reckons it’s not foreseeable that shooting bullets through a door into a room might kill someone you think is inside it? That seems truly a bizarre conclusion to me.

By:
"How could the accused reasonably have foreseen that the shot he fired would kill the deceased?"
4 shots into a small toilet cubicle, I think it's pretty unreasonable to foresee a situation where someone wouldn't die |

By:
Ah fair point, i'd still argue that one could still reasonably foresee that it was her in toilet and thus kill her
|
|
By:
She will probably now say he acted like a reasonable person would then go to aquitt him of all charges.

Floella Benjamin can step in. All she needs to know is if he shot her through the round window or the square window.

Joey Barton..
I mean who locks the toilet door when they go for a p1ss in the middle of the night in their own house? more fkn brains than milady.. imo |

By:
I guess the judges point is that he couldn't reasonably have known it was "the deceased" that would die from the shots being fired, not that there was a good chance someone would die. Although I am not clear on that.
The identity wasn't important. There was a distinction only in that either he did or didn't intend to kill an intruder or her. She's saying he didn't intend to kill (not guilty of murder) and couldn't have foreseen that 'somebody' would die as a consequence of his actions. Basically she's saying he wasn't reckless. (WALOFS) (Is the way I see it) |

By:
I agree with you flowermyth, when you fire 4 shots into a small confined space the intention is without a doubt to kill anyone inside
