Section: BSCRIM 3 CHARLIE

1. Statutory Law – Law enacted by legislature at the federal, state or


local levels
2. Case Law- Judicial decision that interpret statues and set legal
precedents
3. Constitutional Law- Principles and provision found in the constitution
that govern criminal justice and protect individual rights
4. Prohibition and Punishment: Criminal law defines certain behaviors
as offenses against the state or society and prescribes punishments for
those offenses. This aspect emphasizes the need for social order and
the consequences of violating laws.
5. Public Nature: Unlike civil law, which involves disputes between
private individuals, criminal law is considered a matter of public
interest. The government prosecutes offenders on behalf of society,
reflecting the idea that crimes harm the community as a whole.
6. Presumption of Innocence: In criminal proceedings, the accused is
presumed innocent until proven guilty. This principle protects
individuals from wrongful conviction and ensures that the burden of
proof lies with the prosecution.
7. Principal: The person who directly commits the crime or performs the
acts that constitute the felony.
8. Accomplice: Someone who assists or encourages the principal in
committing the felony, sharing intent and liability.
9. Accessory: A person who aids or helps after the commission of the
crime, such as by hiding evidence or helping the principal evade
arrest, but who does not participate in the crime itself.
10. Preparation: Planning and organizing the crime without yet
committing it.
11. Attempt: Taking concrete steps toward committing the crime
but not completing it.
12. Commission: Successfully executing the crime, fulfilling all legal
elements of the felony.
13.  Intent: The presence or absence of intent to commit the
crime can determine liability, distinguishing between intentional acts
and accidents.
14.  Age: Minors may have reduced liability or different legal
standards applied based on their age.
15.  Insanity: A defendant’s mental state at the time of the crime
can impact their responsibility, potentially leading to a verdict of not
guilty by reason of insanity.

Ipso facto law refers to a legal principle that results automatically


from the nature of the act or situation, without needing additional legal
justification. For example, if a person is declared legally incompetent,
they may automatically lose the right to make certain decisions, such
as managing their finances, without needing a separate court ruling for
each decision. Example when a person is convicted of a felony, leading
to an automatic loss of certain rights, such as the right to vote. This
consequence occurs without any additional action needed from the
court.

A bill of attainder is a legislative act that singles out and punishes an


individual or group without a trial. It typically declares a person guilty
of a crime and imposes penalties, such as imprisonment or loss of
rights, without judicial proceedings. In the United States, bills of
attainder are prohibited by the Constitution, ensuring that individuals
are entitled to due process and a fair trial before any punishment can
be imposed. Example a law passed by a legislative body that
specifically targets a person or group, declaring them guilty of treason
and imposing penalties like exile or confiscation of property without a
trial. In U.S. history, some state legislatures attempted to pass such
laws against individuals suspected of being loyal to the British during
the Revolutionary War, which were ultimately deemed unconstitutional .
