Criminal Law Problem Question
PROBLEM QUESTION:
Albert, a tattoo artist, opened a new tattoo studio launching some new techniques on body modification and invited his friend Victoria over. Victoria is very excited. She asks Albert to tattoo the name of her son, Ben, on her arm. She is also convinced by Albert to try tongue splitting, one of the new body modifications offered at the studio. Victoria later decides to go to the mall. While doing her usual weekly shopping, she absentmindedly puts two expensive night creams in her bag, whereas she puts the rest of the products in her shopping basket. After paying the bill, she attempts to leave the mall, but she gets caught. She claims that she did not realise what she did as she suffers from absentmindedness due to the medication that she needs to take for her depression. Victoria has a two-year-old child, Ben. Due to the recent financial and mental health troubles, she has started using drugs and is frequently away from home for long periods, often forgetting Bens existence. Ben is increasingly neglected and eventually becomes sick and dies. In the meantime, Victorias tongue gets infected, and the GP reports Albert to the police.
Discuss the criminal liability of Albert and Victoria.
