Actus Reas/ Mens Rea Clip

She yelled at Elsa on the phone

She skipped class to follow Elsa

She insulted Elsa during a chess match

She pushed Elsa and caused her death

She accidentally hurt Elsa during a practice

She believed Elsa would be fine

She was jealous and angry that Elsa always won

She had no idea Elsa was on the ferry

Negligent — she had no idea her actions could hurt Elsa

Intentional — she meant to hurt Elsa during the fight

Accidental — she tripped and bumped into Elsa

No, murder only counts if it’s fully planned out

Only if the person was over 18

No, not if the victim fought back

Yes, because serious harm that leads to death can still be murder

Her age could affect whether she fully understood the consequences

Being 14 automatically means she’ll be tried as an adult

She’s too young to understand her actions, so there is no mens rea

Age doesn’t matter — anyone can have guilty intent

Yes, both are required to prove a crime

Yes, but only in adult cases

No, because it happened on a ferry

No, only actus reus matters
