"Hinged on the exigencies of self-preservation, the doctrine of homicidal self-defense emerges from the body of the criminal law as a limited though important exception to legal outlawry of the arena of self-help in the settlement of potentially fatal personal conflicts." (United States v. Peterson)
What terrible writing. Awful. I'm going to do laundry.
[Update: ran out of laundry, finished crim, moved to K's, found this:
"This inartificially drawn contract resulted from the joint efforts of the parties thereto, the plaintiff having contributed its phraseology in seemingly extemporaneous dictation to the defendant who furnished the mechanical skill of reducing it to form on the typewriter." (Price v. Van Lint) This just reminds me of the stretching done in UG to reach page minimums. I'm going to do dishes now.]
