Egy héttel ezelőtt Nagy Britannia Legfelsőbb Bírósága egy igen érdekes büntetőjogi ügyben döntött. A R v Gnango [2011] UKSC 59 ügyben a következő volt az eldöntendő kérdés:
“If (1) D1 and D2 voluntarily engage in fighting each other, each intending to kill or cause grievous bodily harm to the other and each foreseeing that the other has the reciprocal intention, and if (2) D1 mistakenly kills V in the course of the fight, in what circumstances, if any, is D2 guilty of the offence of murdering?”
Az LB 6:1 arányban kimondta, hogy:
„the defendant [D2] was guilty of murder not as an accessory but as a principal to an agreement to engage in unlawful violence specifically designed to cause death or serious injury, and on the facts of this case whether the defendant is correctly described as a principal or an accessory is irrelevant to his guilt.”
