In the landmark Lavallee decision of 1990, the Supreme Court of
Canada ruled that evidence of "battered woman syndrome" was
admissible in establishing self-defence for women accused of
killing their abusive partners. This book looks at the trials of
eleven battered women, ten of whom killed their partners, in the
fifteen years since Lavallee. Drawing extensively on trial
transcripts and a rich expanse of interdisciplinary sources, the
author looks at the evidence produced at trial and at how
self-defence was argued. By illuminating these cases, this book
uncovers the practical and legal dilemmas faced by battered women
on trial for murder.
