23. When someone breaks the law it is broken regardless of it being
voluntary or involuntary. Because at the end of the day
whatever the person did still either hurt someone else or was out
of line in society and just like any other person should be
prosecuted. Of course there are levels to this, If two friends are
out at a gun range and the gun blows back and kills his friend
by complete accident then of course it seems fair he should have
to go through the process and given some punishment because
of the life being taken but there has to be some restraint because
of the fact that there was no intention at all.
Sylvia Patterson
I do not believe that a person should be held accountable for
involuntary acts because the person may have no knowledge or
control of what have happened. Also the question that can arise
is the person mental health like whether they are insanity or non
insane. There are four conditions that must exist for an act or to
be omission to be considered a crime the act must considered
wrong by society, the act cause harm or a person might need
protection, the harm is serious and the remedy must be handled
by the criminal justice system. Often time people must have
motive to commit a crime. Also a criminal act have to be
completed before a crime exist. Every person who have been
charge with a crime have a constitutional right to a fair and
speedy trial. And also have to right to not testify against
himself unlike in a civil case. The right is protected under the
fifth amendment. Omission is a failure to neglect some thing
however under some circumstances a person can still be
convicted of a crime for not acting as well. This would be
omission.
Some example are people who do not pay their child support
and alimony. Another is example is failing to pay taxes. I would
say another example would be you witness a person being harm

24. like shot and you refused to get the person medical attention
and leave the scene.
