I don't think the law recognizes this but I do think there is such a thing as extreme provocation
Jury nullification comes to mind as well
You’re right. That’s really the only way in this world that you can “get away” with it. But, for those of us who’ve lost children before, it’s a hard, hard thing. When a child is already somehow mentally vulnerable and an ADULT takes advantage of the situation to abuse that child, and NOTHING AT ALL is done, she needs, as some have pointed out, some social reconditioning.
At the hands of the family, if the law won’t do it.
