 That said, standards applied by the law may not match what in moral contexts we think of as avoidable action. Imagine that a mild provocation, one that a reasonable person could ignore, compels an emotionally disturbed man to murder. Criminal law evaluates his abilities according to the reasonable person standard—thereby convicting him of murder rather than manslaughter—even if moral reasoning would take into account the emotional state severely restricting his alternatives (Kelly 2017). The relation between PAP and the law is further complicated by the fact that criminal law does not seem especially concerned with causal determinism (Morse 2013), a thesis widely thought to limit us to exactly one future. That said, if the irrelevance of determinism in the law reflects some degree of indifference toward alternatives in assigning responsibility, this could be part of a case against PAP in moral matters as well (see also  §3.1).
