aoj 200 discussion 4

Let’s start with a discussion about mens rea. This legal requirement is critical, and it works directly with actus reas, that we learned about last week.
First read page 101, the section titled “Mens Rea.” Then watch the video posted this week that will give you a quick overview of mens rea.
Then answer the following questions:
What’s the definition of mens rea?
How does mens rea relate to actus rea? What must exist between the two (see page 122)? Why must they exist together?

There are four types or categories of mens rea. What are they? Give an example of two of them.
