Скачать или смотреть Common Attorney Defenses: Mistake of Fact

•If you act under an honest and reasonable mistake of fact, you are typically not guilty of the crime.
•This does not mean ignorance is a defense. For example, if you do not know that something is a crime, and commit that crime, it is not a mistake of fact defense to the charge. That is known as Mistake of Law, which is not a legal defense.
•A good example of Mistake of Fact is this: would be that you leave your keys in your car, and return to the parking lot. You get into a car with keys in the ignition and drive. Soon after, you realize it was not in fact your car, but someone else, who also left their keys in the car. In that example, you would not be guilty of Grant Theft, because a required element is that you intended to permanently deprive the owner of their vehicle. Here, you simply thought it was your car. That is the fact that you believed to be true, and it would act as a complete defense to the charge of Grand Theft.
