Lack of Intent

Most crimes involve some level of criminal intent or guilty mind called the “mens rea.” Offenses can be categorized by 5 basic mental states. Failure to prove the mental state for the charged offense may provide a defense.

Premeditation / Malice Aforethought: Planned to bring about a certain result
Intentional Conduct: Desired to bring about a certain result (but didn’t plan)
Reckless Disregard: Conscious disregard for the potential consequence
Negligence: Failure to use reasonable care
No Intent / Strick Liability (like statutory rape)

Examples where an accusation may lack intent include:

Burglary: Entered just to sleep or get out of the cold
Theft: Accidentally took it / thought it was mine
Rape: Consent
Exposure: Accidental / without lewd intent
Murder: No premeditation, malice, etc.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet.

It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
