MENTAL ELEMENT
**
SPECIFIC INTENT vs. GENERAL INTENT |
|
A crime is committed when the defendant has committed a voluntary act
prohibited by law accompanied by a culpable mental state. Voluntary
act means an act performed consciously as a result of effort or
determination. Culpable mental state means intentionally, or with
intent; or knowingly, willfully or recklessly as explained in this
instruction. Proof of the commission of the act alone is not
sufficient to prove that Defendant, I. Dint Doit, had the required
culpable mental state. The culpable mental state is as much an element
of the crime as the act itself and must be proven beyond a reasonable
doubt, either by direct or circumstantial evidence. |
|
SPECIFIC INTENT CRIMES |
|
A person acts "intentionally" or "with intent" when his conscious
objective is to cause the specific result proscribed by the statute
defining the offense. It is immaterial whether or not the result
actually occurred. |
|
GENERAL
INTENT CRIMES |
|
A person acts "knowingly" or "willfully" with respect to conduct or to
a circumstance described by a statute defining an offense when he is
aware that his conduct is of such nature or that such circumstance
exists. A person acts "knowingly" or "willfully" with respect to a
result of his conduct when he is aware that his conduct is practically
certain to cause the result.
A person acts "recklessly" when he
consciously disregards a substantial and unjustified risk that a
result will occur or that a circumstance exists. |

|
I have included very few statutes
in this website, however this is one due to the potential for internet abuse
Laws are changed with regularity - attorney makes no representation that the
linked statute is current |
|
|
| |
|
Refer to
People v. Sullivan, 53 P.3d 1181 (Colo.App.
2002) - felony stalking conviction upheld for electronic GPS device on
wife's car with downloadable chip. |
|
|
In the context of
felony stalking, (whether or not an intimate relationship,
breakup,
dissolution of marriage,
separation,
paternity allegation or
domestic abuse restraining order litigation), the
Sullivan rationale may likely
extend to surreptitious installation and monitoring of a computer program
which repeatedly reports computer usage or internet activity to another.
(computer spyware tracking programs installed without the user's knowledge
or consent). Publishing attorney has not had occasion to defend a
computer spyware felony stalking case, nor is he aware of any
specific case in which such criminal charges have been initiated.
Although
Sullivan may be a harbinger,
current statutory language does not specifically identify surreptitious
spyware installation or monitoring as prohibited conduct, and may not be
sufficient to support a felony stalking conviction. Additional legal research would be
required for a more definitive opinion regarding defense of this issue. |
|
Web beacons, aka web bugs, have become standard practice in many
commercial websites, including reputable companies. Web bugs are
installed surreptitiously without the user's knowledge or consent and
without benefit of court order - court scrutiny. Web bugs may
track computer usage or internet activity. Commercial software is
available to block or find and delete web bugs which are considered by
many in the computer industry to be spyware.
|
|
An attorney naturally queries the difference between tracking spyware
surreptitiously installed by a commercial enterprise and tracking
spyware surreptitiously installed to track computer or internet activity
of someone with whom the installing person (alleged stalker) has had a
continuing relationship. Put another way, is the enabling language
of
CRS 18-9-111(4)(a)
sufficient to withstand a constitutional equal protection challenge? |

(1) Where a person charged with perjury or

having been made within the period of the statute of limitations, the
prosecution may proceed by setting forth the inconsistent statements in a
single count alleging in the alternative that one or the other was false and
not believed by the defendant. In such case it shall not be necessary for
the prosecution to prove which statement was false but only that one or the
other statement was false and not believed by the defendant to be true.
(2) The highest offense of which a person may
be convicted in such an instance shall be determined by hypothetically
assuming each statement to be false. If the assumption establishes perjury
of different degrees, the person may be convicted of the lesser degree at
most. If perjury or false swearing is established by the making of the two
