| | Infanticide |
| | In contrast, where infanticide is raised by the accused as a defence to murder, the legislation does not specify whether it is the prosecution who must disprove, or the accused who must prove, that the defence of infanticide is established. | | | One argument against abolishing infanticide is a perception that the defence of diminished responsibility would not be adequate to accommodate all infanticide cases. | | | Convictions for infanticide are generally obtained by way of the prosecution's acceptance of a plea of guilty to infanticide following an indictment for murder, rather than by a jury's verdict following a trial. |
