3 A Person of the Same Sex/Age, in the Same Circumstances, Would Have Reacted the Same as the Defendant
An objective test under s. 54(1)(c)
The jury will determine whether a normal person, in the same circumstances of the defendant, would have reacted in the same way as the defendant did.
This means that if the jury concludes a normal person may have lost control, but reacted differently, then the defence could fail.
