In R v. Ryan the accused, Nicole Doucet (then Ryan) was in a relationship with an abusive husband, who according to the accused routinely threatened to have her killed at least once a week. She sincerely believed that her husband would attempt to kill her, or their daughter, if she did not act. To this end she attempted to hire a hitman to kill her husband for her.

Two axes were found in the home, and neither had a speck of blood (“Lizzie Borden on Trial” 14).
