Okay, so many countries' Law allows for the acquittal of murder but within the bounds of self-defense, but what if you see someone get killed (possibly from a knife infliction), and you witness the killer run and you draw out your gun, shooting him in the back. Are you guilty of manslaughter then?  Also what if you drop something edible, by accident, on the floor and put it back in its rightful container, and a few days later you find someone sick because of consuming it, only later finding out that someone has died because of it. You feel guilty realising the connection and come forward. Will you be charged with culpable homicide? |

Who are you trying to kill?

@cerberus611 | 29 July 19 |
 Me? Kill somebody? No. |

You didn't really have a valid reason to shoot in most places. Can you pay some people to say he was running after 3 school girls so you shot him ? |

Will you be charged with culpable homicide? shooting someone in the back isn't legal. it isn't in self defence or to save another. shooting in the back and he dies could get you up on murder. ... |

Case 1 is very slippery. You basically shot someone dead lol you probably would, and should get in trouble. If the killer turned on you, then you could shoot him in self-defence. But otherwise, you really shouldn't draw a lethal weapon unless you would be justified in using it. So if you can justify that the killer was a threat, and could have harmed other people around too (or could do it again) then maybe you shouldn't be held accountable. You prevented further atrocities. Case 2 is  You can't be culpable for putting something that fell back in its container. You would be long gone before anyone gets ill from eating it. Can you imagine the number of times things fall in an average day at a grocery store, and are put back on their shelves? This happens so often. You wouldn't be able to even ascertain that the food you had put back, was the food that resulted in someone's death. |

I don't like guns, so it's very unlikely that I would ever find myself in the first scenario. However, if someone hurt my daughter, they better run because I will kill a bi**h with my bare hands. The second scenario is unlikely too, I'm very mindful about things like that. I can't even bring myself to throw away something as ''harmless'' as a single paracetamol tablet that might have landed on the floor. Because I know that there are little kids living at the landfills here. I imagine them mistaking it for candy. And I'm the crazy lady at the supermarket that makes the staff remove old/faulty/damaged stock. So no, I'm not going to jail anytime soon. I don't have a clue about what the courts would say if someone found themselves in either scenario though. |

The answer to both examples is no. The first case you're guilty of murder, second case doesn't even merit an explanation.
