Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell of Alloway (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 7 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Coroners and Justice Bill.
Coroners and Justice Bill
This is a question that troubled me for many years in my very humble position as a recorder. Is my noble friend saying that they are going to give up trying to test the guilt of a man who has lost his reason by assessing what a man would do if he had kept his reason, or have they gone away from that to test the man as he is according to what he did? The business of testing a man who has lost his reason by what a reasonable man would do is, in my respectful opinion, utter nonsense.
