Vehicle Related: Vehicular Accident
Car accidents often carry legal consequences in proportion to the severity of the accident. Nearly all common law jurisdictions impose some kind of requirement that parties involved in a collision (even with only stationary property) must stop at the scene, and exchange insurance or identification information or summon the police. Failing to obey this requirement is the crime of hit and run.
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'.
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."
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;
• Accessory before the fact - he was not present but aided and abetted prior to the commission of the felony;
• Accessory after the fact - he was not present but aided thereafter in order to protect the principal(s)
Omission or Inaction
Author: Evan Bailyn
Liability for most crimes is based on the performance of an 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.
