"Vince and Hattie had a very unhappy marriage. Vince was constantly hitting Hattie, insulting the way she looks, or her cooking. One day she calls her sister and says she can't bear his violence anymore, and that she won't be responsible for what she does. The next day Hattie, in an attempt to please Vince, cooks his favourite curry. Vince says it's horrible. Hattie grabs a frying pan and rains fatal blows on him. Can Hattie justify a defence that will lower the charge from murder to manslaughter ?"

I'm getting addicted to law class.
Yesterday night we did this case study which went something like this :
"Vince and Hattie had a very unhappy marriage. Vince was constantly hitting Hattie, insulting the way she looks, or her cooking. One day she calls her sister and says she can't bear his violence anymore, and that she won't be responsible for what she does. The next day Hattie, in an attempt to please Vince, cooks his favourite curry. Vince says it's horrible. Hattie grabs a frying pan and rains fatal blows on him. Can Hattie justify a defence that will lower the charge from murder to manslaughter ?"
So it was after doing this case study that we went to Kaveri Restaurant again (from left : Prabha, Joanne J).

Kak Zara : Well. I didn't hit the waiter with a frying pan and rain on him fatal blows. I'd be charged in the Juvenile Court if I did that.
Nazeef : Good one ! :D
