I wrote an small paper for my class 'English for Criminologists' and got this paper back with some remarks.
I find it hard to make out what to change. Can someone please help me with this. I underlined the portions where i got comments on.
Thanks

The term self-defense is in theory quite simple, you are allowed to defend yourself if being under attack, but the practical application is in the least straightforward.
As not being an expert on English law I see the conviction of manslaughter as just but to take extenuating circumstances into account for the criminal dispensation.
The fact that he did not get parole was because he clearly did not express any regret on killing the boy nor wounding his accomplish. Even if the incident had happened on self-defense or property-defense, most people would be sorry about the loss of life.
