Document Summary
If in your essay your taking the position that homicide should be changed your coming up with an idea. Or you can say it makes sense and not change it. Mens rea: motive is not the intention. The motive are the things that drive you to do the things you do. In principal people are not supposed to be criminally responsible unless they have a guilty mind. It"s the state of mind that a person has to be in to create an offence. We find hate speech on the internet now. You are reckless if you ignore what a reasonable person should know. Needing glasses to drive and not wearing them: failure to take due care, willful blindness. In your car and you hear a sound of someone saying help and you ignore it: failing to check, what standard of intent is provided for this provision. If they no what the risks are like driving that"s reckless.
