    Eduncle Best Answer

    Actus reus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea a person cannot be guilty of a crime unless two elements are present: the * actus reus(“guilty act”) and the * mens rea (“guilty mind”). Most criminal offences require 
    1. An actus reus (conduct “external” to the defendant's thoughts and intentions) and 
    2. A mens rea (a specific state of mind on the part of the accused).
