Is not an element of a crime
Is important only when the identity of the culprit is in doubt, and not when he is positively
identified by a credible witness.
Existence of motive is essential to determine which of the two conflicting theories are true

9. A crime is defined as an act or omission which is made punishable by law. ... A

person incurs criminal liability either by committing a felony regardless of the original

which a crime is committed in circumstances under which it was seemingly
impossible for the perpetrator to commit the crime or evade detection in the course of
getting in and out of the crime scene. Thus, the requisites of an impossible crime are:
(1) that the act performed would be an offense against persons or property; (2) that
the act was done with evil intent; and (3) that its accomplishment was inherently
impossible, or the means employed was either inadequate or ineffectual.
