Example Sentences:
(1) In delivering her ruling, judge Thokozile Masipa said that "a reasonable person would have foreseen if he fired shots at the door, the person inside the toilet might be struck and might die as a result", which suggests a classic case of dolus eventualis.
(2) Regardless of who was behind the door, Pistorius is guilty of murder, Nel argued .Whether Pistorius believed the person behind the door was an intruder or knew it was Steenkamp, it was murder by dolus directus (premeditated murder) or dolus eventualis (that he must have known he was likely to kill the person by firing).
(3) The South African legal system allows for different kinds of murder convictions, and the one that's relevant here is what is known as common-law murder with indirect intentions – or "dolus eventualis".
(4) He will also not be found guilty of murder without premeditation ( dolus eventualis ), as Masipa says there was not sufficient evidence to suggest that he had foreseen that his actions could result in the death of the person behind the toilet door.
(5) How the Oscar Pistorius trial became a mirror on South African society Read more A panel of judges at the supreme court will consider whether Masipa erred in not applying the principle of dolus eventualis , a category of murder where the perpetrator subjectively foresees the possibility of his or her act causing death and persists regardless.
(6) Emma Sadleir, an expert on social media law who has been monitoring responses to the verdict, told the Guardian that many South African lawyers were uneasy with the decision on common law murder – what is known in the country's laws as dolus eventualis murder.
(7) To find otherwise would be tantamount to saying that the accused’s reaction after he realised that he had shot the deceased was faked, that he was play acting, merely to delude the onlookers at the time.” While Pistorius could not be found guilty of murder dolus eventualis [legal intent], culpable homicide was a “competent verdict”, Masipa said.
(8) "The legal fraternity are concerned that the test for dolus eventualis may been applied incorrectly," Sadleir said.
Malice
Definition:
(n.) Enmity of heart; malevolence; ill will; a spirit delighting in harm or misfortune to another; a disposition to injure another; a malignant design of evil.
(n.) Any wicked or mischievous intention of the mind; a depraved inclination to mischief; an intention to vex, annoy, or injure another person, or to do a wrongful act without just cause or cause or excuse; a wanton disregard of the rights or safety of others; willfulness.
(v. t.) To regard with extreme ill will.
Example Sentences:
(1) After addition of triiodothyronine, malic enzyme mRNA accumulated with sigmoidal kinetics, approaching a new steady state at 36-48 h after adding hormone.
(2) In addition to detecting three major antigenic variants of malic enzyme within this group, both antisera readily reacted with Streptococcus faecalis malic enzyme.
(3) The oxidative enzymes of the pentose phosphate pathway, ATP-citrate lyase, 'malic' enzyme and fatty acid synthetase also decrease markedly.
(4) Hormone therapy also caused an increase in the rate of incorporation of [3H]leucine into soluble proteins and in malic enzyme activity.
(5) Moreover, the transcriptional rate, mRNA concentration and induction of malic enzyme were increased by triiodothyronine treatment at a similar rate in both the young and old rats, but the absolute increments were lower in the old animals.
(6) The TRH treatment suppressed mitochondrial cytochrome c reductase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities, whereas cyclo(His-Pro) reduced cytochrome c reductase and malic enzyme activities.
(7) Activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and malic dehydrogenase of the mycelial form were higher than those of the yeast form.
(8) These observations suggest that in the rat neostriatum there are some neurons especially able to catabolize pyruvate via cytosolic malic isoenzyme.
(9) Thus a long-lived event in thyroid hormone stimulation of malic enzyme synthesis occurred prior to transcription of a specific messenger RNA (mRNA), presumably malic enzyme mRNA.
(10) In the Ob 17 preadipocyte cell line, during adipose differentiation, T3 amplified the progressive expression of two enzymes of the lipogenic pathway, ATP-citrate lyase (ATP-CL) and malic enzyme (ME) as previously described for fatty acid synthase (FAS) and fatty acid synthesis, and in the same time-period of development.
(11) The nucleotide sequence of the mRNA for malic enzyme ((S)-malate NADP+ oxidoreductase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating, EC 1.1.1.40) from rat liver was determined from three overlapping cDNA clones.
(12) The specific nuclear binding of triiodothyronine (T3) (NBT3) and the activity of malic enzyme (ME), glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD), and 6-phosphogluconate-dehydrogenase (6PGD) were studied in the human fibroblast cell (MRC-5).
(13) 2-Hydroxyisobutyric acid, ethyl-2-hydroxybutyrate, malic acid, 1-butanol, benzyl alcohol and L-leucine did not act as substrates for the enzymes.
(14) Malic enzyme and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were highly active in the adipose tissue of mammals but were inactive in the adipose tissue of birds.
(15) Distribution of kinase activity in centrifugal fractions of both liver and heart mitochondrial sonicates was parallel to that of the two inner membrane marker enzymes succinic dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase and quite different from that of the matrix enzyme malic dehydrogenase.
(16) Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme are enzymes involved in NADPH synthesis.
(17) The antigenic enzymes, the precipitates of which are only stained by specific staining, are: aldolase, malic enzyme, acid phosphatase, peroxydase and cholinesterase.
