Strict
Liability
Author:
Evan Bailyn
One of the underlying precepts of criminal law
is a Latin maxim that holds 'there can be no
guilt without a guilty mind'. The offender must
have knowledge of his act and intent. |
Statute
of Limitations
Author:
Evan Bailyn
There was no statute of limitations in common
law. It is a statutory creation and is not drawn
from an individual's inherent rights but from
"legislative grace." In a criminal
matter, the statute can be asserted at any time
before or after judgment. |
Parties
to a Crime
Author:
Evan Bailyn
Common law gave broad definition to parties to a
felony as follows: Principal in the first degree
- he engaged in the felonious conduct; Principal
in the second degree - he was present, aided and
abetted its commission; |
Omission
or Inaction
Author:
Evan Bailyn
Liability for most crimes is based on the
performance of an act. But it may also be based
upon an omission, which is defined as a failure
to act when there is a "legal" duty to
act. |
Morality
and Criminal Law
Author:
Evan Bailyn
Criminal law does not attempt to impose the
standards of any particular religion, philosophy
or school of ethics. It is fair to expect a
country founded on the principal of religious
freedom to maintain a legal system untainted by
the doctrines of any particular philosophical,
ethical or spiritual viewpoint. |
