Question

Rebekah unknowingly grows illegal marijuana plants in her garden, assuming they are just weeds. If Rebekah is discovered growing the marijuana, strict liability would infer that:A) Rebekah is liable even though she had no illegal intent

B) Rebekah is liable only if she was found to be negligent in not recognizing the marijuana
C) Rebekah is not liable because she had no illegal intent
D) Rebekah is not liable if someone else was witnessed planting the marijuana

Answer 1

a. Rebekah is liable even though she had no illegal intent

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the law takes into account the fact instead of the reasons, the illegal fact is over any reasons that took place, also, it is possible to support the previous affirmation through the following "Ignorantia Juris non excusat" from the latin, ignorance doesn't exempt compliance with the law.

it is a principle of the law that indicates ignorance or omission of the law is not an excuse when the law has been enacted, it must be known for all.
