No, but it's still a plea in Court, like it or not.

That is true, but it will make first degree murder very hard to prove and maybe even second degree murder. Might only be able to get a voluntary manslaughter conviction out of the killing.

Where's your compassion?

How about a little display of mercy and forgiveness?
