Plea Bargain Murder Case

Summary

Premeditation in the French Penal Code involves intention formed before the act, requiring reflection and planning. In this case, the defendants actions were impulsive and influenced by intoxication, lacking premeditation. Key references include Article 111-1 of the French Penal Code and case laws such as Cass. Crim., 22 janvier 1975, and Cass. Crim., 4 février 1998, which emphasize the need for a deliberate and calculated decision. The Mauritius Penal Code distinguishes murder from manslaughter by premeditation, which is absent here. Texts like Garraud et Garçon support that premeditation requires a reflective state of mind. A plea bargain is requested to reconsider the charge to manslaughter, reflecting the crimes nature and the defendants remorse.
