excuse defense

Not sure if this is for RFV or RFD, so I'm putting it here. This seems like almost a synonym of Nuremberg defense... —CodeCat 02:23, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

• Delete. Although excuse defenses are certainly a real thing in the law, the phrase would be SoP to excuse defense. In criminal law, an "excuse" is merely a reason given why a person who has committed a criminal act should nonetheless be spared punishment for it (e.g. insanity, duress, mistake of fact, etc.). See w:Excuse (legal). bd2412 T 04:15, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

  I have now added the appropriate definition to excuse. Cheers! bd2412 T 04:44, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
