I really dont see how this is confusing. I have been studying criminal law in my spare time for the past 3 weeks and I completely understand Actus Reus and Mens Rea. For me, this video kinda complicates it a bit, but thats just me.

[bfoaliali]

is manslaughter considerd Actus Reus ?

[MrHellloothere]

erm since the act was commited then it is however in mnslughte the mens rea isnt there

[bfoaliali]

and is forced entry under the criminal code, the same as breaking and entering? and what is the mens reus of breakng and entering? the planning? thanks in advance

@bfoaliali - Yes. Murder includes the act of killing (actus reus) with the intent to kill (mens rea.) Manslaugher is the act w/o intent, but from negligence or gross negligence. Folks who run over grandma because they drank to much will be convicted of manslaugher. Folks who run over grandma because a bus ran a red light and the driver swerved to avoid the bus but hit grandma accidentally have a good chance of no conviction if no other circumstances exist to prove negligence. Make sense?

@JCNoodlehead thank you very much, yes it makes perfect sense.
