TrueFalseQuick Quiz A regulatory law is usually one that has been passed to protect the public welfare. A quasi-criminal offence is usually punishable by a lengthy prison sentence. Actus reus is defined as a guilty act. Recklessness is a legal term that refers only to motor vehicle offences. With respect to mens rea, motive is the same as intent. The perpetrator is the person who actually commits a particular crime. Aiding and abetting are basically the same. To prove a person guilty of conspiracy, the Crown must show that the person agreed to commit a particular crime. To find someone guilty of counselling to commit a crime, that person must be present when the crime is committed. Quasi-criminal laws fall under federal jurisdiction. A person accused of an absolute liability offence can use the defence of due diligence.

Learning Goal I can describe the role of people involved in a criminal trial (e.g., lawyer, judge, jury, duty counsel, Crown attorney)
