This is an interesting legal theory.

>>The state Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the murder conviction of a man whose public defender argued a “warrior gene” predisposed him to impulsive violence — making him incapable of forming the intent to kill his victim.<<

I am aghast this was even proposed as a defense. If it was allowed EVERYONE convicted of ANY violence could say that.

I expect it to succeed in California any day now. Maybe Dallas County under the new DA who does not believe in prosecuting crimes (lazy bastard).

Bet we haven't heard the last of it.

New Mexico made the right call. There is no scientific basis for what the man says.

[LuxAerterna]

He clearly has a gene that needs to be removed from the gene pool.

The science on the “warrior gene” is kind of bunko.

[euram]

Several years ago in Georgia, a man was claiming that he was genetically predisposed to commit murder. His defense attorney had a family tree chart showing that the guy’s father had murdered someone, one of his grandfathers had murdered someone and that there were other murderers scattered throughout his family tree. The theory was that he shouldn’t be held responsible for killing someone because it was in his genes to do so.

He was found guilty of murder in spite of their chart.

public defender argued a “warrior gene” predisposed him to impulsive violence —

Nonsense.

But if it were true he should be taken out and hung immediately.

And what was his sluts excuse?
