Answer to Question #314801 in English for Nhlaka

Question

Three factors which exclude the voluntary nature of act??

Answer 1

A word about habitual actions is also in order. Consider a defendant who has been trained by the military to spin around and fire immediately and without thinking on a threat behind him; this behaviour has become, thanks to his training, habitual. Is he to be held guilty of a crime when, at the local firing range, he spins and fires on a person behind him who yells something threatening? Or would such a verdict violate the VAR? The bodily movements in cases such as this are routinely taken to provide an acceptable basis for criminal liability
