This authority recognizes the acute practical dilemma facing a defendant who may have an arguable defence of provocation, giving possible ground to support a conviction of manslaughter instead of murder, but who
 chooses to deny the participation in the killing altogether. Justice requires that consideration be given to a possible defence disclosed by the evidence even if, for reasons good or bad, the defendant chooses not to advance it. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24

a pardon can be considered by the President on the recommendation of the Mercy Commission under section 119 of the Constitution. In other words, the offender must serve the minimum term and cannot be pardoned or released before the expiration of the minim
