guilty
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time; a look into all aspects of a guilty verdict from the burden of proof to conviction to the judge’s sentence and more.
Malignant Motives
Every law student when first introduced to the elements of criminal culpability would have been told a person’s motive is irrelevant. Early on in the course, we were thought to distinguish between criminal intention (which plays a role in criminal liability) and criminal motives. It was then when I came across a piece of online news published in Metro UK on 23 Dec 2015, that it made me question this idea and ask myself, “why shouldn’t motives affect a person criminal culpability?

He Killed a Woman Over Her Dog Peeing on The Lawn
I recently moved back to Canada to a small town of under 7,000 people and it’s been an interesting experience. I live in a neighbourhood with beautifully manicured lawns that retirees spend most of their days ensuring are absolutely meticulously groomed. On just about every corner, you’ll find a “no dog pooping on the lawn” sign. I get it — when you spend that much time ensuring your lawn is the greenest most attractive lawn as far as the eye can see, you don’t want a dog ruining it. But it still rubs me the wrong way.

A Desperate Plea
My life is very different from other peoples. I do not generally need to ask others what their profession is, it is part of my skill set to be able to figure out everything about them without them knowing. And by them, I am of course referring to my targets, mostly middle aged men who think that they have all the power in the world. Their ego takes up so much of their mind that they cannot possibly think that the women in front of him is going to kill them. And that is my endgame at the end of this lame dinner.
