15.10 - Requirements for criminal liability in general and for offenses of strict liability and mental culpability.

§  15.10 Requirements for criminal liability in general and for offenses            of strict liability and mental culpability.    The minimal requirement for criminal liability is the performance by a  person of conduct which includes a voluntary  act  or  the  omission  to  perform  an  act  which  he is physically capable of performing. If such  conduct is all that is required for commission of a particular  offense,  or  if  an  offense  or some material element thereof does not require a  culpable mental state on the part of the actor, such offense is  one  of  "strict  liability." If a culpable mental state on the part of the actor  is required with respect to every material element of an  offense,  such  offense is one of "mental culpability."
