Diminished responsibility

• In criminal law, diminished responsibility (or diminished capacity) is a potential defense by excuse by which defendants argue that although they broke the law, they should not be held fully criminally liable for doing so, as their mental functions were "diminished"or impaired. The defense's acceptance in American jurisdictions varies considerably.
