RE: A doubt, reasonable or otherwise – Some observations and questions on your prosed legislation banning “gay panic” as a murder defense, especially when the victim [alleged] is a homosexual and the villain [alleged] is a heterosexual with all its built-in violent predilections.

Mr. Eustace,

If a defendant, one who is presumptively heterosexual or, at least, non-homosexual cannot claim “homosexual panic” as a mitigating factor in his/her defense in a murder trial would the obverse also become part of the Garden State Rules of Criminal Procedure?

How would this be as a possible scenario?

Sluggo, the alleged perpetrator, is accused of killing Jay, the alleged victim. Jay allegedly made sexual advances to Sluggo. When Sluggo found out that Jay wanted homosexual sodomy, either as a pitcher, the catcher, or both, his mind became unbalanced. He allegedly killed him in a most gruesome manner.

Should your proposal become law Sluggo could not claim that his sudden discovery of Jay’s sexual orientation cannot be part of his defense.

Would it apply to the following scenarios?

Zazu finds Rosie attractive. She proposes “a bit of the gobble” to her. Rosie, only a few days away from her sex second sex change operation but already identifying as a male, panics and kills Zazu.

Would Rosie be precluded from using the panic defense?

What if 3 couples [M/F, M/F, M/F], having voluntarily agreed to an orgiastic tryst, wind up with a dead body by the dawn’s early light? Forensic evidence points to two alleged perpetrators. No one admits to anything but all agree that the activities would be limited to one on one, male/female, horizontal tangos.

Would the gender panic defense be precluded if your proposal were to become law?

Do modern American Liberals intentionally turn all FUBARs into clusterfucks or does your philosophical and ideological DNA compel you to do so?
