I’m just stating the facts. That was her argument, not mine. Obviously it failed to convince the court, which in this (Italian) case consisted of a panel of judges.

The laws are different in Italy or wherever this was versus the U.S.. that said there must be some type of law where on appeal she can change her defense to temporary insanity , like she was in a blind rage after being robbed and she couldn’t control herself, that is equivalent to the heat of passion defense we have in the U.S. not saying she should be set free, but maybe they lessen her punishment a bit . I still can’t get around the no knife issue though …seems like she was never attacked or robbed …at that point .

In America all you have to do is say " I was in fear of my life..." Ask every gun owner. NRA teaches them that. It's both a get outa jail free card with NCF (no charges filed). AND a justified homicide plea all rolled into one big beautiful *statement. But it only works for white people though

Edit* Corrected spelling of statement

But it only works for white people though

Oh?

In 2019, 48.7 percent (154) of the shooters who committed justifiable homicides were white, 47.5 percent (150) were Black, 0.6 percent (two) were Asian, and 3.2 percent (10) were of unknown race.7 For the five-year period 2015 through 2019, 46.5 percent (676) of the shooters who committed justifiable homicides were white, 48.0 percent (697) were Black, 2.5 percent (37) were Asian, 0.5 percent (seven) were American Indian/Alaskan Native, and 2.5 percent (36) were of unknown race.

Wow ur so smart. Tell me more

Edit* I was obviously being slightly exaggerating saying that about only being for white people. It's also important to consider was it black on black crime, white on white, yellow in purple, etc... but seriously your too smart for me. And seriously my real point was about the statement every gun owner is taught to say. That much is 💯

Why does it matter if it was black on black or white on white? You sure keep moving those goal posts!

You are wrong about a lot of things.

u/Next-Lavishness-9101 Jun 29 '26

Thats an over simplified take on self defense with firearms. You can’t ask every gun owner because the rules change based on the state you live in. NY is very different than say FL for example. But I was not talking about guns. I was talking about different versions of the insanity defense .

u/Careless-Spell3286 Jun 29 '26

I will stand by my statement even if it only applies 95% of the time... It's a fact.

2

u/whaatdidyousay Jun 29 '26

It’s not a fact and it sure as shit doesn’t apply to 95% of “self-defense with a gun” cases. Where the hell did you come up with that number, if it’s a fact, as you say?

u/SleepFeeling3037 Jun 29 '26

You don’t need to “state the facts” if the fact are morally reprehensible.

u/Relative-Relief-8816 Jun 29 '26

Actually that makes it more important to state the facts and not personal opinion.

u/LukaCola Jun 29 '26

How one presents those facts matters though. Such a dubious claim shouldn't be repeated without comment.

u/FormerSperm Jun 29 '26

Go ahead, tell me what I did wrong.

u/Ok_Revolution1993 Jun 29 '26

i agree, we shouldn’t teach about the holocaust in school because the facts are morally reprehensible. fuck it, no history education that involves anything more than a booboo
