| thought experiment
Say a man gets out his car at the top of a hill he forgets about the handbrake it rolls down and hits someones fence What should his punishment be?
but what if the car hit and killed a child does this mean he should recieve a harsher punishment?
It seems the mens rea and actus reus (from the actual act) are the same in both but it also seems likely people would call out for a much harder punishments this seems to happen in many different examples for example a drug dealer caught selling and an indenticle drug dealer who sells something someone ODs on.
