Amelio's Argumentative Essay

In 1861, the Offences Against the Person Act (OAPA 1861) was introduced to give distinction between various criminal acts towards other people. However, from its inception it has created the requirements for defences for the numerous offences. One of the most complex of these is the defence of consent, the one to be considered here. With regard to this problem, it is necessary to identify any crime that has been committed, examine how consent will apply and analyse how satisfactory the law is on this topic.

In this case a prostitute in custody had informed the police that she was a heroin addict and she had obtained medication to alleviate her withdrawal symptoms. She made an incriminating statement which she later did not want to be admitted before the court. She said that she had taken some heroin and was therefore under the influence of the drugs while making her statement. There was evidence given by a medical expert that she also suffered from a psychiatric disorder which would was made worse by drug use and therefore affected the reliability of her confession. The Court of Appeal held that s76 (2) (b) applied because the defendant's mental state had to be taken into account and could render her confession unreliable.
