Paperback. Two principles have governed Western criminal law for more than two thousand years. The first is mens rea - the requirement that before any person can be convicted of a crime, the prosecution must prove not just that they did something but that they did it with a guilty mind. The second is the beyond a reasonable doubt standard - the constitutional requirement that the government must prove every element of every charged offense beyond a reasonable doubt before any American citizen can lose their liberty. Both principles are under sustained assault. Most defendants never know it until it is too late.This book delivers the most comprehensive guide available to the two most fundamental protections in American criminal law. Drawing on Supreme Court decisions from Morissette to Rehaif, on the National Registry of Exonerations, and on the real cases of real people prosecuted for conduct they had no idea was criminal, this book traces exactly how the mens rea requirement and the reasonable doubt standard have been systematically dismantled - and exactly what defendants, defense attorneys, and citizens can do about it.Inside: the complete history of the mens rea principle from Roman law through the Model Penal Code; the four mental states and what the prosecution must prove for each; how strict liability offenses have expanded to reach fishermen, guitar manufacturers, maintenance engineers, and healthcare providers who had no idea they were committing any crime; the Staples three-factor test for challenging strict liability prosecution; the Rehaif knowledge principle that has already changed hundreds of federal firearms cases; the constitutional dimensions of the reasonable doubt standard and how jury instructions, appellate deference, and the plea system have weakened it; and the complete practical guide - pre-trial motions, Rule 29 motions, jury instruction requests with specific language and authority, and appellate arguments - for asserting these protections at every stage of every criminal proceeding.The government must prove what you did. It must also prove what you intended. It must prove both beyond a reasonable doubt. This book hands every defendant, every defense attorney, and every citizen who believes the government must earn its convictions the complete legal arsenal to demand exactly that. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Two principles have governed Western criminal law for more than two thousand years. The first is mens rea — the requirement that before any person can be convicted of a crime, the prosecution must prove not just that they did something but that they did it with a guilty mind. The second is the beyond a reasonable doubt standard — the constitutional requirement that the government must prove every element of every charged offense beyond a reasonable doubt before any American citizen can lose their liberty. Both principles are under sustained assault. Most defendants never know it until it is too late.
This book delivers the most comprehensive guide available to the two most fundamental protections in American criminal law. Drawing on Supreme Court decisions from Morissette to Rehaif, on the National Registry of Exonerations, and on the real cases of real people prosecuted for conduct they had no idea was criminal, this book traces exactly how the mens rea requirement and the reasonable doubt standard have been systematically dismantled — and exactly what defendants, defense attorneys, and citizens can do about it.
Inside: the complete history of the mens rea principle from Roman law through the Model Penal Code; the four mental states and what the prosecution must prove for each; how strict liability offenses have expanded to reach fishermen, guitar manufacturers, maintenance engineers, and healthcare providers who had no idea they were committing any crime; the Staples three-factor test for challenging strict liability prosecution; the Rehaif knowledge principle that has already changed hundreds of federal firearms cases; the constitutional dimensions of the reasonable doubt standard and how jury instructions, appellate deference, and the plea system have weakened it; and the complete practical guide — pre-trial motions, Rule 29 motions, jury instruction requests with specific language and authority, and appellate arguments — for asserting these protections at every stage of every criminal proceeding.
The government must prove what you did. It must also prove what you intended. It must prove both beyond a reasonable doubt. This book hands every defendant, every defense attorney, and every citizen who believes the government must earn its convictions the complete legal arsenal to demand exactly that.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
