- Abstract
The article discusses the British Court of Appeal case R v Blackman (Alexander Wayne) related to murder. It states that the case attracted a significant amount of media attention, and the public ostensibly supported the petition to have the murder conviction replaced with manslaughter, and mentions that there was more leeway for the jury to assess an individual's moral culpability. It notes that medical expert evidence was central to repudiation of the murder conviction.
