L'appelante, une femme battue qui se trouvait dans une union de fait instable, a tué son conjoint de fait, tard une nuit, en tirant sur lui et en l'atteignant à la partie postérieure de la tête, alors qu'il quittait sa chambre. L'incident a eu lieu à la suite d'une dispute au cours de laquelle l'appelante avait été maltraitée physiquement et craignait pour sa vie parce que son conjoint de fait l'avait menacée de la tuer si elle ne le tuait pas en premier.

CONT

For example, to the extent that society fails to recognize the power differential between two gay men in a battering relationship, it may not be able to conceptualize a killing by the battered man of his abuser as self-defense. The requirement of equal force is especially harmful to a battered man, who is likely to be perceived as more equal in strength to his male abuser than would a battered woman. The use of deadly force by him will appear irrational or vengeful if the power imbalance is ignored.
