What would the legal ramifications of this hypothetical situation be?

Assume the whole thing has been video taped.

So, you're with your girl and you need to leave her for a while to care of something. When you come back, you find that a guy is trying to sexually assault her. You get pissed and beat him unconscious. Now, after he's unconscious you take a gun and shoot him in the nuts.

What would happen legally in this situation? You couldn't claim that you shot his nuts in self defence/to protect your chick because you've already defended yourself/protected your chick by beating him unconscious (could you?).

Could you be legally prosecuted for robbing the assaulter of his manhood ?
 
You will be charged for assault and probably spend a few days in jail. After getting bail, with a good lawyer you can run the case for a few years if the guy does pursue you over the years.

So, in short: It all boils down to how much money you have in the bank.

IANAL
 
If the girl chops his tool, she will get away without a day in Jail.
But if you chop his tool off, expect to be charged with assault atleast if not attempt to murder(because he can die due to excessive bleeding).

So do not go out on date with a motive to smash someone's gonads with knife :D
 
322. Voluntarily causing grievous hurt.-- Whoever voluntarily causes hurt, if the hurt which he intends to cause or knows himself to be likely to cause is grievous hurt, and if the hurt which he causes is grievous hurt, is said" voluntarily to cause grievous hurt".

Explanation.- A person is not said voluntarily to cause grievous hurt except when he both causes grievous hurt and intends or knows himself to be likely to cause grievous hurt. But he is said voluntarily to cause grievous hurt, if intending or knowing himself to be likely to cause grievous hurt of one kind, he actually causes grievous hurt of another kind.

Illustration A, intending of knowing himself to be likely permanently to disfigure Z' s face, gives Z a blow which does not permanently disfigure Z' s face, but which causes Z to suffer severe bodily pain for the space of twenty days. A has voluntarily caused grievous hurt.

Whoever, except in the case provided for by section 335, voluntarily causes grievous hurt, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine.

Any other questions.
 
the pertinent question here would be - where do you take the gun from and what shoots out of it and onto the guy's nuts?
 
OP, by any way are you related to another member in this forum called Being.Smart?

For the case at hand, IMO most probably you will be charged for assault, and if the guy dies because of excess blood loss, you will be charged with murder.

OT: 1) Why would you beat a guy if you have a knife or gun :scared14:
2) Why would you go after the gonads of an unconscious man :unsure:
3) Who video tapes the whole thing? Seems like a plot for Adalaat or C.I.D

I have no idea who the member you mentioned is. Even if I were related to him, would that be a compliment or an insult ?

1.) He tried to molest my girl.
2.)He tried to molest my girl.
3.)This is a hypothetical situation. You're allowed to make assumptions

Not true. The force used in self defence must be reasonable.

OinkBoink said:
Yes. So the fact that the assaulter was voluntarily assaulting your girl won't be taken into account ?

I guess the answer would be that you can't take justice into your own hands. (?)

Yes, the court will hold you guilty for using more force than required.

Once he is unconscious, everything else you do is unreasonable, and you can be held guilty for it.
 
@OinkBoink

Look man/Lady

If you shoot that guy in the head and he dies, you are ****ed, because you used more force than necessary.
If, however you shoot him in the leg, and he dies because of excess blood loss or blah blah, yo are OK, but shooting him in the head. NOPE!

Situation may change by the fact - 'Who' is aware of this being video taped
1) The girl
2) You
3) The assaulter
