If Barbie does not die Ken can still be hit with a charge for disclosing the fact that he had aids. Ken would probably get hit with intentional transmission which is when you fail to inform your partner that you don't have aids.

------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION The general basis for imposing liability in criminal law is that the defendant must be proved to have committed a guilty act whilst having had a guilty state of mind. The physical elements are collectively called the actus reus and the accompanied mental state is called the mens rea. It is the fundamental duty of the prosecution to prove both of these elements of the offence to the satisfaction of the judge or jury beyond reasonable doubt. In the absence of such proof the defendant will be acquitted. ------------------------------------------------- ACTUS REUS An actus reus consists of more than just an act.
Generally, the Actus Reus must be voluntary and deliberate and if involuntary, he is not at fault. For example, actions carried by reflex or through a spasm are involuntary and therefore the defendant is not at fault. On the other hand, failing to act when there is a duty to do so can lead to fault. The Prosecution must prove that there is a link between the defendant’s act and the end result in order to prove that he is a fault. Factual Causation and the De minimus Rule uses the ‘But For test’.
Preparatory Crime For a case to be inchoate the person that is accused of the crime must have a guilty mind, or a mens rea, to have all conspiracy against them repelled. Though for them to be guilty of all crimes they must have had intended for the crime to have happened. For a murder to be intent the defendant must have intended for the victim to have been killed. In a case of inchoate, for the defendant to be cleared you need proof of mens rea. Though they may have threatened to kill them.
(Standard of proof. n.d.) In a criminal case the state must prove that the defendant is guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt” and has fulfilled each part of the statutory definition of the crime. An example of a criminal case would be first degree murder, because it contains the three basic elements of a crime: willfulness, deliberation and premeditation. However the standard of proof in a civil case is proven by lower standards of
For example, "Manslaughter," under Article 119 is a lesser included offense of "Murder," under Article 118. If a military court finds the accused not guilty of the crime of Murder, the court can still find the accused guilty of Manslaughter, without the government having to amend the charges. Maximum Permissible Punishments: These are the *maximum* punishments that a general court martial can award toward a particular offense. While not specifically stated, a general court martial can also reduce a person's grade. Most general court martials reduce the convicted person's grade to the lowest enlisted rank (E-1) when punishment includes time in prison and/or a punitive

Criminal Justice System Paper CJA/204 Criminal Justice System Paper The criminal justice system is complex with all the different components and processes that make it up. The justice system is not perfect in how it handles every case when officials have their own self interests involved in the cases, but justice will prevail when the truth comes to light. There are three components that make up the criminal justice system and they are the police, courts, and corrections system [ (Schmallager, 2009) ]. The system begins with a crime or discovery of a crime. According to [ (Schmallager, 2009) ]”a crime is a violation of the criminal laws of a state, the federal government, or local jurisdiction, for which there is no acceptable legal justification or excuse”.
(Bader et al) The main difference between crime and deviance is deviant behaviour is when a social norm has been broken whereas a crime is where a formal and social norm is broken.

It is to be noted that, there is no necessity in a false imprisonment case to prove that a person used physical violence or laid hands on another person. It is sufficient to show that at any time or place the person in any manner deprived another person of his/her liberty without sufficient legal authority. False arrest is sometimes used interchangeably with false imprisonment. False arrest is the unlawful violation of the personal liberty of another consisting of detention without sufficient legal authority. In order to establish a false arrest claim, the person detained must prove that the arrest is unlawful and such unlawful arrest resulted in injury.
