Santa isn't stupid you know.  He has devised plans and ways to share the burden. "Delegate" "Delegate" were the words Mrs Sally Claus kept reminding him.

So hitting someone who then dies is OK as long as you didn't intend to kill them? You haven't committed a crime?

Is an answer to the question "on topic" Mr Mod?  When will the online persecution of the McCanns end?  Anyone know and I'll put the date in my diary.

When they change their approach to the case. I can't see that happening anytime soon.

By "they" do you mean the McCanns?  In what way(s) could they change their approach that would make any difference to the online persecution?

As applicable to the McCcanns, and keeping on-topic, my post perfectly answers the question.

In the abstract, the question is unanswerable, because there is not enough informtation.

Wow! Latin terms!  Would you care to explain your point using simple English? Probably not.

When who changes their approach
Or have you put your foot so much in the proverbial that you couldn't possibly explain
I'll go with that

It would be interesting to know what sort of an approach the McCanns could adopt that would bring the online persecution to an end.  If it were me I'd have a big party and invite all the chief persecutors to come to my house, drink my wine, nibble my vol-au-vents (not a euphemism) and invite them to tell me to my face why they hate me so much.  But that's me.  An alternative approach would be to start a campaign of persecution back, eg: taking out lawsuits against the most prolific, vitriolic persecutors, expensive and ultimately futile I would think.  Or they could just top themselves which might go down quite well with some but may stop others in their tracks.  Apart from that I really don't know what they could do to make a difference.   &%+((£

Guilty conduct and guilty intent.  In general and with certain exceptions (forget those) the commission of any criminal act must have  both elements. 

In England recently there was a lorry driver whose vehcile hit and killed a pedestrian.  The driver was acquitted of all charges because there was no evidence he had been driving his lorry neligently (no guilty action) but the lorry had defective brakes.

Resonsibility for maintaining the roadworthyness of the vehicle was his employer's and his employer was held culpable.  If the driver had, also, owned the vehicle the driver would have been culpable. 

Guilty conduct and guilty intent.

Both elements must be present for there to be the commission of any crime.

The absence of either element means no crime.
