Actus non facit reum, nisi mens sit rea
|
|
Actus non facit reum, nisi mens sit reaAn act does not make a man a criminal, unless his intention be criminal. To constitute a crime the intent and the act must concur; a mere overt act, without wrongful intention, does not make guilt.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Criminal
Relating to, or having the character of crime
Intention
A design, resolve, or determination of the mind.
Crime
An act or omission which is prohibited by criminal law. Each state sets out a limited series of acts (crimes) which are prohibited and punishes the commission of these acts by a fine, imprisonment or some other form of punishment. In exceptional cases, an omission to act can constitute a crime, such as failing to give assistance to a person in peril or failing to report a case of child abuse.
Mere
This is the French word for mother. It is frequently used as, in ventre sa mere, which signifies; a child unborn, or in the womb.
Overt
Open. An overt act in treason is proof of the intention of the traitor, because it opens his designs; without an overt act treason cannot be committed.
Act
1) Civil law, contracts. A writing which states in a legal form that a thing has been said, done, or agreed. 2) Evidence. The act of one of several conspirators, performed inpursuance of the common design, is evidence against all of them.
Without
Pleading. This word is adopted in formal traverses, and is a negative signifying "and not for;" accordingly the language of the elder entries sometimes is, It et nemy pur tiel cause.
Guilt
Criminal law. That quality which renders criminal and liable to punishment; or it is that disposition to violate the law, which has manifested itself by some act already done. The opposite of innocence.
