Kevin Smith, 41, 正在上诉他因2022年刺杀Daniel Pettersson, 34岁在Jesmond被刺死而被判的2023年谋杀罪, 声称他在厨房争吵中采取自卫行动。 Kevin Smith, 41, is appealing his 2023 murder conviction for the 2022 stabbing death of Daniel Pettersson, 34, in Jesmond, claiming he acted in self-defense during a kitchen altercation. Smith拿着刀,与Pettersson争吵,Pettersson比较大,有敌意的历史,他冲进家门,朝他挺进。 Smith, who held the knife, argues Pettersson, who was larger and had a history of hostility, aggressively entered the home and advanced toward him. 他的法律团队告诉刑事上诉法院,陪审团拒绝自卫是不合理的,因为控方并没有排除Smith对威胁的真实信念。 His legal team told the Court of Criminal Appeal the jury’s rejection of self-defense was unreasonable, as the prosecution didn’t rule out Smith’s genuine belief in threat. 英国王室认为,Smith是侵略者,在涉及爱情三角和父子关系纠纷的案件中,在没有紧迫危险的情况下拔出刀子。 The Crown maintains Smith was the aggressor, having drawn the knife without imminent danger, in a case tied to a love triangle and paternity dispute. Smith被判处20年监禁,15年不假释。 Smith was sentenced to 20 years with 15 years non-parole. 对上诉的裁决尚未作出,如果谋杀指控被推翻,则可对过失杀人罪进行重审。 A ruling on the appeal is pending, and if murder charges are overturned, a retrial on manslaughter may follow.
