from Part II - Gender on Trial
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2022
This case concerned the second-degree murder of a child by his mother. The trial court had denied the defendant’s request for the opportunity to present a cultural defense to the jury. She contended that her Chinese heritage and upbringing had impaired her state of mind such that she should not have been found guilty of murder. The court held that the trial court had erred in denying the defense. The opinion concerns the intersectional issues between race and gender in the criminal law setting.
