 | | The USSG states that a federal court may depart downward from the minimum sentence on the basis of diminished capacity if the offense was nonviolent. | | | However, it was not until very recently that the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit explicitly recognized that 5K2.0 creates a "diminished capacity" argument for violent crimes. | | | In a federal case -- like Kaczynski -- the rules of evidence, procedure and sentencing are set at the federal level. |

| | Diminished Capacity |
| | Thus, in a murder case, the defendant may offer a "diminished capacity" defense to prove that he was incapable of deliberating, premeditating, or acting with malice, as is required for a first degree murder conviction. | | | By raising the defense the defendant challenges the prosecution's reliance upon a presumption that the defendant has the capacity to possess a particular state of mind required by the statute (or by common law) for the commission of the crime charged. | | | The court held that the trial court erred in instructing the jury that he had the burden of proof on the issue of diminished capacity. |

| | Civil Service Rules and the bargaining agreements do not accurately reflect the distinction that now exists between "acting capacity" and "temporary compensation." In common usage the term "acting capacity" is often incorrectly confused with "temporary compensation." Acting capacity generally refers to a non-state employee who is being appointed to an authorized position. | | | Acting capacity assignments may not exceed one year, except that the Director, in response to unusual or unanticipated circumstances, may grant individual extensions. | | | Temporary compensation is a situation where a state employee is compensated for work in another (usually higher) classification on a temporary basis. |
