Gay panic defense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I thought this was a joke, but no, it's real. Today boys and girls, we made a legal back door to protect real men from all those dirty queers sending us to jail just because we stove their skulls in. The law is an ARSE!
On face value, I was a bit surprised too...but it's basically a type of insanity plea (usually rarely works out...unless they're super duper nuts) Looks like the only way to use the defense is also by inferring the defendant has schizoid personality disorder (which you'd need a Phd or MD to diagnose)...still...
It reminds me of the "crime of passion" laws, which make killing an unfaithful spouse or their lover legal. Someone told me they are still in effect in certain countries.
