Felony Violation

[Jonathan Buhacoff]

Intent

To define a category of crime which includes intentional and incidental violation of rights that cause injury, death, or irreparable harm to the victim.

Proposal

A felony violation is any intentional or incidental violation of rights which causes injury, death, or irreparable harm to a person.

Actions exercising the right of defense are excluded to the extent that they are lawful or reasonable under the circumstances in which they occurred.

Judgment for felony violations shall include corrective action where possible, monetary compensation to the victim or the victim’s family, imprisonment, and fines.

In cases involving public property or public spaces including land, water, and air, the victim is the people and they are represented by the government.

In cases involving multiple perpetrators, a judgment shall include all of them and shall be more harsh to the criminal leaders, organizers, and planners.

Definitions

Intentional violation is something done deliberately, voluntarily, willfully, or recklessly.

Incidental violation is something that occurs because of or as a consequence of or as part of an attempted crime or as part of a criminal plan or conspiracy.

Discussion

Examples of felony violations include:

* Assault and battery

* Murder

* Mutilation, including any injuries from weapons

* Presenting false testimony in a trial which leads to wrongful conviction of an innocent person with a prison sentence exceeding one year

* Knowingly presenting false evidence in a trial which leads to wrongful conviction of an innocent person with a prison sentence exceeding one year
