' undang-undang tidak mengajar seseorang menjadi BODOH, menerima sahaja sesuatu, menganggap sesuatu itu takdir,'

8.am, criminal law class by Dr. Anita.

Basically, this is what I learnt in Criminal's class this morning. Satu provokasi itu boleh dijadikan satu dalihan tetapi hanya dalam kes bunuh.  Example given is someone presurring you for money. If you were one of those hot-tempered person, and the second party pressured you for money,you killed him; you can use provocation as a defence.  O.S.E and I exchanged glances when Dr. Anita mentioned this.Those guys shold be lucky we're not hot tempered. Just wonder if we are one.

But it's only useful for murder cases because if this kind of defence is acceptable in other criminal cases, the rate of rape cases would skyrocketed and predicted excuse;

'dia (mangsa) yang provoke saya, sape suruh dia dedah sana dedah sini??saya kan laki-laki, macamlah saya takde nafsu....'

Bare in mind people, a crime is always a crime, any kind of defense will only help reduce the punishment not protect you from being punished!
