I have a scenario which i need you to follow the instructions and give advice according to the instructions:Vicky is the wife and assistant of a knife throwing expert, James, and they both work for a circus. James is renowned for his hot temper and has recently been off work suffering from depression. Their act consists of Vicky being strapped to a boardwhilst James throws twenty knives all around her from a distance of 5 metres to within as little as 15 centimetres of her body. They have been doing this for many years without a single mistake and James regards his technique as perfect.One evening, just before their act begins, Vicky tells James that she is having an affair with his best friend, the lion tamer, Wayne. James is shocked and enraged but, at that moment, the fanfare strikes up for the start of their act and James andVicky enter the ring to start their performance. The third knife James throws, goes straight into Vicky’s heart, killing her instantly.Advise James regarding any potential criminal liability he mayhave for Vicky’s deathTo support your advice on whether James will be liable for Vicky’s death, you would need to consider:Whether the crime of murder has been committed in thefirst place (considering both the actus reus and mens reas of murder)Whether the special defences (loss of self-control ordiminished responsibility) can be used to reduce the chargeof murder to voluntary manslaughter.The sources below will be particularly helpful:54 of the Coroner’s and Justice Act 2009 amended $2 of theHomicide Act 1957 so S 2 states that:S2 of the Homicide Act 1957 (as amended by the Coroner’s andJustice Act 1957)Martin & Price (2018), Law A Level, Book 2, Chapters 5 & 6Hodder EducationPlease use the information provided and add a couple more sources that could be useful and please add the references in between sentences throughout the essay also at the end of the paper.
