what crime did aiken commit regarding his wife, and what possible defense could be used?

support your response by explaining how you applied the scientific methods of inquiry

1. Applying the appropriate sociological and criminological scientific methods of inquiry, regarding the mailman Aiken committed a voluntary manslaughter.

The defense could be that he was moved to kill the maleman, because he found his wife committing adultery.

2. Regarding the murder of Aiken's wife, the charge is first degree murder.

The defense could be used using the appropiate sociological and criminological scientific mehtods of inquiry is that he acted on rage and that influened him into killing her voluntarily.

Explanation:

A voluntary manslaughter is defined as killing under a passionate rage. Aiken by finding his wife committing adultery was moved by a passionate rage and kill him. This statement is sustained under the motivations or circumstances by which people kill, which is explained by the sociological and criminalist method. So it is a good way to think in a defense based on this.

A first degree murder is consider such, if it is found that is was premaditated murder. This is explain by the cirmustances of the killing. Aiken killed the mailman and he didn't kill his wife inmediatly. He went downstairs prepared something to eat, watched tv and afterwards he kill her.

The defense here rests on the circumstances that influence the killing even though it could still be consider a premaditated murder.
