Murder vs. Culpable Homicide — Understanding the Key Differences

According to Sir William Blackstone, “When a person, of sound memory and discretion, unlawfully kills any reasonable creature in being and under the king’s peace, with malice aforethought, either express or implied.”

When a person deprives someone of his life, he may or may not be liable for murder but in a broader sense, he has committed culpable homicide. So we can say that “All murders are culpable homicides but all culpable homicides are not murders.” In this article, we will discuss the differences between the types of culpable homicides and murder.

Culpable Homicide

The term Homicide, in its broadest sense, is the act of causing the death of another person. It refers to the unlawful killing of a human being, excluding situations where the killing is justified or excused by law. Homicide is a criminal offense that is categorized into different degrees or classifications, such as justifiable homicide, accidental homicide, culpable homicide, and murder depending on the jurisdiction. Culpable homicide is divided into two categories including culpable homicide amounting to murder and culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Section 299 of the Indian Penal Code deals with ‘Culpable Homicide’, it states that “Whoever causes death by doing an act with the intention of causing death, or with the intention of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, or with the knowledge that he is likely by such act to cause death, commits the offence of culpable homicide.”

Murder

Murder is a type of homicide that is defined under Section 300 of the IPC, it states that “Except in the cases hereinafter excepted, culpable homicide is murder, if the act by which the death is caused is done with the intention of causing death, or-

Secondly — If it is done with the intention of causing such bodily injury as the offender knows to be likely to cause the death of the person to whom the harm is caused, or-

Thirdly — If it is done with the intention of causing bodily injury to any person and the bodily injury intended to be inflicted is sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death, or-

Fourthly — If the person committing the act knows that it is so imminently dangerous that it must, in all probability, cause death or such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, and commits such act without any excuse for incurring the risk of causing death or such injury as aforesaid.”

Elements of Murder

The intention of causing death of another person is the primary element of murder.

The intention of causing bodily injury or physical injury that is likely to cause death of another person or result in serious injury to another person.

The same should be done with the knowledge that a particular action would result in the death of another person.

Under the six-week ban, providers could not perform abortions if they detected fetal cardiac activity, which emerges at about six weeks into pregnancy. Many women, McBurney wrote, do not even know they are pregnant at six weeks.

“For these women, the liberty of privacy means that they alone should choose whether they serve as human incubators for the five months leading up to viability,” McBurney wrote. “It is not for a legislator, a judge, or a commander from The Handmaid’s Tale to tell these women what to do with their bodies during this period when the fetus cannot survive outside the womb any more so than society could – or should – force them to serve as a human tissue bank or to give up a kidney for the benefit of another.”

In a footnote, McBurney added: “There is an uncomfortable and usually unspoken subtext of involuntary servitude swirling about this debate, symbolically illustrated by the composition of the legal teams in this case. It is generally men who promote and defend laws like the Life Act, the effect of which is to require only women – and, given the socio-economic and demographic evidence presented at trial, primarily poor women, which means in Georgia primarily black and brown women – to engage in compulsory labor, ie, the carrying of a pregnancy to term at the government’s behest.”

if you are in the US and are at risk of unwanted pregnancy, you should buy mifepristone immediately while it's still legal to mail so you can have it on hand just in case (it should keep for about 2 years). the future of this method of medication abortion is seriously at risk. it is very important that you are prepared for a worst case scenario

if this applies to you or a loved one go here and follow the instructions. it's $150 so if you are not at risk of unwanted pregnancy and are able, please consider helping others with the cost, or buying some to have on hand in case someone you know needs it in the future

edit: just wanted to add that I personally have already bought and received a provisional dose in case I know someone who needs one from this site so I can confirm that it is legit

Just remember folks, the same Supreme Court that has openly and repeatedly declared that individual rights do not exist if they aren't explicitly spelled out in the Constitution and cannot be implied from the text just declared that the President has the right to be immune from prosecution because they inferred it from the text.

You really can't make this stuff up. The Supreme Court is willing to stretch the bounds of the law and the text of the Constitution as far as possible to protect the powerful, but isn't willing to grant even the slightest bit more than the letter of the law to the average person. That should tell you all you need to know about who they value.

So let me get this straight.

The Supreme Court of the United States just struck down anti-discrimination laws based on a case that was entirely theoretical.

Yes. You heard that right.

This ruling will affect all states, because it is a federal law. A web designer decided that in theory if she was asked to do same-sex weddings she wanted to be able to say no. The case was theoretical.

The ruling says that, essentially, anti-discrimination laws are a violation of 1st amendment rights. This will affect more than just queer people. This will harm every person that could possibly be harmed.

Okay so as a legal scholar I cannot be quiet about the recent SCOTUS decision because frankly: WHAT THE FUCK AMERICA???

How the hell did the country of "democracy, liberty and justice" that the US always claims to be end up with the highest court ruling, that the president is literally above the law? This right there is the beginning of the end of democracy. SCOTUS basically handed the president dictatorial powers and it is only a question of time until a president makes use of these powers. I can‘t understand how the conservative judges on SCOTUS can’t see that they just turned themselves into a laughingstock for any serious legal scholar or judge in the entire western world. Hell probably even judges in actual dictatorships are laughing about the absolute stupidity and law bending this ruling presents.

But this is also fully the fault of the way the US judicial system is structured. Judges hold way too much power due to the anglo-saxon case law system that persists from colonial times and only got created because English judges wanted more power so they gave it to themselves. This leads to a supreme court that has no rules for what cases it can and cannot rule on, no enforceable rules on when a member can rule on something or has to recuse themselves and the power to basically add to the constitution without being elected.

Having only 9 judges on a Supreme Court for a country as large as the US is absolute madness! Germany has less than half the amount of inhabitants yet our Supreme Court is made up of two senates with eight judges each and if one senate wants to differ from the other’s past rulings all 16 judges have to rule on a case together. And these judges aren’t even appointed for life!! Not to mention that they can only rule on very specific cases that have a direct relation to the constitution.

I fear for all my American friends and my partners who live in the US because this new ruling gives a future president the ability to commit atrocities against minorities without any fear of persecution! This November will be the most important election in US history and as a German who has studied how fascism used the law and the courts to rise to power before I urge all of you: Vote! Vote against Trump or this will be the last time you will be voting at all.
