Topic | Man beaten to death in act of 'vigilante justice'. Now charged with murder. |
A_Good_Boy 08/15/18 1:33:52 PM #24: | Grischnak posted... Is there any indication that he was *trying* to kill him? As I understood it, he just beat the guy up and the guy died injuries from the later on. That can happen even if you're not trying to murder someone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggshell_skull The eggshell rule (or thin skull rule) is a well-established legal doctrine in common law, used in some tort law systems,[1] with a similar doctrine applicable to criminal law. The rule states that, in a tort case, the unexpected frailty of the injured person is not a valid defense to the seriousness of any injury caused to them. --- Who is? I am! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
