When Intoxication Becomes a Defense Generally, self-induced intoxication cannot be used as a defense to an offense committed. But the law allows intoxication to be a defense when it is either not self-induced or pathological. In these two instances, it is a valid defense if. Because of the intoxication, the defendant at the time of the commission of an offense lacked substantial capacity either to appreciate its wrongfulness or to conform his conduct to the requirements of law. #Intoxication #MylesSBreinerAttorneyAtLawALawCorporation

Strict Liability Offenses The strict liability principle is generally limited to minor offenses. Criminal law classifies it as one of five possible mental states that a defendant may have in pursuit of the crime. It exists when a defendant is liable for committing an action regardless of his intent or mental state when the action was being committed. Strict liability offenses are usually crimes that concern the public’s welfare. #StrictLiabilityOffenses #MylesSBreinerAttorneyAtLawALawCorporation

Criminal Conspiracy A person may be found guilty of criminal conspiracy if, with intent to promote or facilitate the commission of a crime, he agrees with one or more persons that they engage in or solicit the conduct. Another instance is when he or another person with whom he conspired commits an overt act in pursuance of their preconceived plan or conspiracy. #CriminalConspiracy #MylesSBreinerAttorneyAtLawALawCorporation
