Criminal Law-Requisite Mental Element In Criminal Assault, Charles Hansen Feb 1949

Criminal Law-Requisite Mental Element In Criminal Assault, Charles Hansen

Michigan Law Review

Defendant was driving his car after dark at a speed greatly in excess of that prescribed by a local ordinance. While proceeding in this fashion, the car overtook and struck a bicycle, severely injuring a passenger thereon. From a conviction of criminal assault of the passenger, defendant appealed. Held, affirmed. The necessary intent to injure a specific passenger of a vehicle may be inferred from the recklessness evidenced by driving at night at a speed greatly exceeding the statutory limit. Wellons v. State, (Ga. App. 1948) 48 S.E. (2d) 925.

It is our purpose here to consider the legal rules which have been and are being developed to govern a field whose technical achievements are one of the primary reasons why lawyers and laymen alike are vitally concerned with international law today-the field of international air transportation.
