: I'd love to see you listen to some rapist or killer using your excuse to justify his action.

I believe that this incident took place in England but I could be wrong. It seems that a woman killed a man (I don't remember their association) by smashing him between her car and a telephone pole. Her defense was that PMS had negatively affected her ability to know what she was doing. She was not convicted of his murder.
