Elements of Crime (Mens Rea, Actus Reus)

[chiefpine]

This video helped me a lot more than my $50 textbook.

There is another element (lack of defence). People can commit a prohibited act and still not bear any liability if there is a defence- if they did it out of self-defence, if they are mad, duress or pressure.

[LegalIssue]

This is incorrect. Motive is irrelevant when considering mens rea.
what you need to consider is whether the result was the aim or purpose of the defendant in causing the result.

these are just basics of self defence either at the dojo or in court

Question in regards to the baseball bat example: in tort law would the weak heart be seen as a pre existing injury or would it fall under the eggshell skull principle?

Hey, your music is great and I’m really getting into it, but is it really necessary to talk all over it like that. I could not make out much of what the lyrics were, something about men’s rears or something. Can you do an edit without the talkie stuff?

The wild beats effect strip out mens rea in any trial

So we just forget the most important element of crime, for traffic infractions?!?!?! Which also lets you bypass the fact there is no concrete INJURY from traffic infractions. No human is injured by a seatbelt not being worn or failing to use a turn signal. Sounds legit.

You uncle had an embolism. This being hit with a baseball bat is a sufficient intervening cause that brought on the lethal sequence of events. That's a cause of death. Coronary embolism due to blunt force trauma. Manner of death would be homicide.
