Ushintsho lomthetho lubonwa kusengaphambili.
Ngaphansi komthetho wango-1907, ukuphinga kuseyicala esifundazweni saseNew York, kubika i-AP. Ushintsho lomthetho lubonwa kusengaphambili, ngemva kwalokho umbhalo uyogcina uhoxisiwe.
Ukuphinga kusathathwa njengobugebengu ezifundazweni ezimbalwa zase-US, nakuba amacala enkantolo eyivelakancane futhi ukugwetshwa kwamacala kuyivelakancane.
Imibhalo engokomthetho isale kusukela esikhathini lapho ukuphinga kwakusewukuphela kwesizathu esingokomthetho sesehlukaniso.
Ngokomthetho waseNew York ka-1907, incazelo yokuphinga yilapho “umuntu oshade naye ephila engena ebudlelwaneni obuseduze nomunye umuntu”. Ubuhlobo nendoda eshadile noma owesifazane oshadile nakho kuwukuphinga. Ngemva kwamasonto ambalwa kuphasiswe lo mthetho ngo-1907, kwaboshwa indoda eshadile nowesifazane oneminyaka engu-25. Unkosikazi wale ndoda usefake isehlukaniso, kubika i New York Times.
Kusukela ngo-1972, bangu-2010 kuphela abantu asebebekwe amacala okuphinga kanti amahlanu kuphela aholele ekugwetshweni. Icala lokugcina lokuphinga eNew York lafakwa ngo-XNUMX.
NgokukaKathryn B. Silbaugh, uprofesa wezomthetho eYunivesithi yaseBoston, umthetho wokuphinga wawuhloselwe abesifazane ukuze ubathene amandla ekubeni nobuhlobo bobulili ngaphandle komshado futhi ngaleyo ndlela uvimbele imibuzo mayelana nokuzalwa kwezingane kwangempela. “Masikubeke ngale ndlela: ubunzalamizi,” kusho uSilbo.
Lolu shintsho kulindeleke ukuthi lucutshungulwe yisigele maduzane, ngemuva kwalokho luzobe seludluliswa kusayinwe umbusi wesifundazwe saseNew York.
Iningi lithi namanje nemithetho yokuphinga baphathe njengento misdemeanor. Kodwa-ke, i-Oklahoma, iWisconsin kanye neMichigan basaphatha ukuphinga njengecala. Izifundazwe eziningana, ezihlanganisa iColorado neNew Hampshire, ziyichithile imithetho yokuphinga, njengoba kwenza iNew York. Umbuzo wokuthi ngabe ukuvinjelwa kokuphinga akuphambani yini noMthethosisekelo usalokhu uvulekile, kuphawula i-Associated Press.
