Actus reus: commonly defined as a criminal act that was the result of voluntary bodily movement. This describes a physical activity that harms another person or damages property. Anything from a physical assault or murder to the destruction of public property would qualify as an actus reus.

Mens rea: the intention or knowledge of wrongdoing that constitutes part of a crime, as opposed to the action or conduct of the accused.

Mens rea is the intention or knowledge of wrongdoing that constitutes part of a crime, as opposed to the action or conduct of the accused.

I agree with this law, it not only further protects victims but also (insert opinion). Mens rea was intentionally made as a non-deciding factor, because there is no statistical way to prove this. While it is necessary to prove guilt in a criminal trial, prosecution typically must prove beyond doubt that the defendant committed the offense with a culpable state of mind.
