| 释义 | 減責神志失常 In criminal law, an abnormality of the mind that substantially impairs the mental responsibility of an accused for acts or omissions that caused the death of a person, arising from a condition of arrested or retarded development of the mind or any other inherent cause, or induced by disease or injury: R v Byrne [1960] 2 QB 396, All ER 1; HKSAR v Leung Wai Chung [1999] 2 HKC 471 (CA). Where a person kills or is a party to a killing of another, he will not be convicted of murder if he was suffering from such abnormality of mind: Homicide Ordinance (Cap 339) s 3(1). In the event that the accused can bring himself within this provision, he is liable to be convicted of manslaughter rather than murder: s 3(3). See also Defence; Manslaughter. 在刑事法上，指重大損害被告人導致他人死亡的作為或不作為的意識責任的神志失常；神志失常可以是由心智發育停頓或遲緩，或任何其他與生俱來的因素，或疾病或受傷所引起的：R v Byrne [1960] 2 QB 396, All ER 1；HKSAR v Leung Wai Chung [1999] 2 HKC 471 （上訴法庭）。凡任何人在殺死或參與殺死他人時，如屬神志失常，該人不得被裁定犯謀殺罪：《殺人罪行條例》（第339章）第3(1)條。如被告人若非因本條規定原可被裁定犯謀殺罪，則可轉而被裁定犯誤殺罪：第3(3)條。另見 Defence; Manslaughter。 |
