This can be potential or actual responsibility-meaning that you actually committed the crime, or that you are simply suspected of committing it. If the liability is proven in court, you will be held responsible for the crime and sentenced accordingly. In cases of criminal liability, the government believes you may have committed a criminal act, and the government prosecutes the case in court. What Determines Criminal Liability? In plain English, this means in order to prove that you are criminally liable, the prosecution must prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" not only that you committed the crime, but that you intended to do it. However, certain exceptions exist where "strict liability" is enforced, meaning that you can be held liable for the crime regardless of your intentions. For example, you may be convicted of selling alcohol to a minor whether or not you knew the person's age. You can also be ticketed for speeding even though you didn't know you were exceeding the speed limit. Your experienced criminal defense attorney can advise you on whether your alleged offense is a strict liability offense.
