Talk:Culpable homicide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Generality

I don't think "Culpable homicide" is scott-specific term. The term is used in other countries as much as in Scotland. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 16:15, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I concur with Ambuj Saxena, culpable homicide is in the Criminal Code of Canada, at least last time I looked. It is not a formal charge, but a supra classification term. When someone dies the Crown classifies it as either Culpable or Non-culpable and only in cases of culpable homicide (murder, manslaughter, or infantacide) can a person violate the Criminal Code, non-culpable is justified killing. --Mikerussell 07:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
