Edward Coke On Mens Rea
Mens rea comes from Edward Coke writings. He said that while someone may have committed a criminal act they can only be found guilty if it was deliberate. You mentioned that an act cannot be criminal unless there is guilt and I agree with that statement. To be found guilty of wrong doing a criminal prosecutor must show beyond a reasonable doubt that they knowingly participated in a crime that harmed someone else of damaged property.

    Lydia's Criminal Liability Case Study

    For Lydia to be culpable for constructive manslaughter it must be proven that she “intentionally did an act” that was “criminally unlawful”, “dangerous” and the act “caused the victim’s death”. These requirements are confirmed by the HL in DPP v Newbury13. This case involved two boys who pushed a paving stone off a railway bridge as a train was approaching. The stone came through the cab and killed a guard. The HL upheld the Defendants’ convictions of manslaughter as they had the mens rea for the act which was also unlawful and dangerous. Lord Salmon stated that for a conviction of constructive manslaughter proof of mens rea was required but the Defendant only had to have the intention to “do the acts which constitute the crime”. This means the Defendant must only have the mens rea for the unlawful act to be culpable for constructive manslaughter. Lydia satisfies this requirement as she had a clear intention to throw the law reports off the balcony and unlike the use of self-defence in Scarlett14 Lydia’s actions are clearly “criminally unlawful”. Also, Lydia’s actions satisfy the test set out in Church15 which deems an act “dangerous” if all “sober and reasonable” people recognise that the act would cause the other person to be subjected to the “risk of some harm”. The decision in R v JM and SM16…

    Jack, Bert and Pratt

    In the case, the court dismissed the charge of the attempt of murder of Bert because Jack could not have killed Bert due to the malfunction of his gun. The court was not right by dismissing the attempt murder charge because he had the intent to kill Bert and he even fired his weapon towards him but ended up killing Pratt. All the tree elements of an attempt were present plus it also meets the mens rea of attempt. It meets the mens rea because Jack intentionally performed an act that was proximate to the completion of a crime, and by possessing the intent or purpose to achieve a criminal objective. In addition meets the actus reus of attempt because he came extremely close to the commission of the crime. In addition he killed Pratt while pointing the gun at Bert with the intent to kill him.…

    Bert and Jack Scenario

    There are three major elements that are required to be present in order for an attempt of a criminal act to take place. The first is the actual intent to commit the crime itself. The second element states that there must be an act or acts that take place towards committing the crime. Lastly, the attempt at the crime must have failed (Lippman, 2012, p.178). Along with the three elements, both mens rea and actus reus must be present. There are two determining factors when deciding if mens rea is present: the intent to commit the crime and intentionally performing acts that come close to completing the crime (Lippman, 2012, p.178). In addition there are three tests to determine if there is actus reus present. The first test is the physical proximity test. This…

    Etma01 K209 Classicism, Positivism and Social Constructionism

    When considering classicism, in terms of what is a crime and legal foundation, that no matter how serious a crime, a crime is something that conflicts with the authorities of the state and the legislator/judges, through literal interpretation (Muncie, J. and McLaughlin, E. 1996). Crime was also defined further by Muncie and McLaughlin (1996), ‘crime was a violation of criminal law’. They also state that a conviction and crime itself with actus rea and mens rea; the criminal intent of a voluntary act, followed by punishment. However, Classicism and positivism also viewed some members of society as incapable of full rational responsibility, such as children and the insane (Hopkins Burke 2008 pg. 89).…

    Manifest Criminality Case Study

    George Fletcher’s principle of manifest criminality [1] states that a persons thoughts and attitudes have to be put into action for a crime to be committed. The reason that we do not punish people for their thoughts is because it would be “impractical, inequitable, and unjust.” For a person to found criminally liable, a person must have committed an act in support of the crime, otherwise we would be punishing them for their thoughts [2]. Crimes involving an attempt or a conspiracy generally require an act to be committed in furtherance of the criminal activity, even though the actual planned crime failed or was not fully committed [3]. These crimes go beyond mere thought and require overt actions.…

    Throughout this criminal defense case analysis, we were able to discuss the differences between criminal defenses of “I did not do it” (factual) and “I did it, but ...,” (legal), as well as explain the various types of defenses under each category. Further, we are able to conclude that although there are a variety of criminal defenses that can be used to defend a person’s innocence, does not necessarily mean that the courts will agree with his or her actions or defense to…

    Does Breaking a Law Makes a Criminal?

    Most crimes require criminal intent. Two elements must exist before a person to be found guilty of an intent crime and be label as criminal. First, the person must have actually performed the criminal act. For example, killing of someone without legal justification is a criminal act. This is because the law forbids person from killing on another. Criminal act is not always an action people take. A person can be a criminal for not acting. For example, if a taxpayer who is under a legal duty to file income tax returns and pay income tax, failure to do so will result in a criminal act. Second, to be found guilty of an intent crime, the accused must be found to have possessed an evil intent to do harm. For instances, assault and battery are usually consider an evil intent because the perpetrator intends a specific result with the purpose of doing harm to another. To further complex criminality, we should also examine non-intent crimes.…

    Criminal Justice Vs Criminology

    The textbook established the ideas of mens rea which is a guilty mind and actus reas which is a guilty act,and that it takes the both of them as components of crime and (Sterling,1999) states around what time this originated in english common law and how long it was faithfully used even up into modern American law. He also states how the American Jurisprudence has slowly been moving away from requiring those two components of crime. The reasons being that efforts were made to make the criminal justice system more uniform and predictable, to marginalize the element of…
