| 英文摘要 |
This Article analyzes two recent court cases concerned with the criminal liabilities of mentally ill persons whose discontinuation of medications led to the commission of a crime. Recent work suggests that, under the actio libera in causa doctrine, offenders should not be excused in such circumstances. This Article argues that, while these circumstances do not necessarily prevent the offender from assuming criminal liabilities, cases that constitute actio libera in causa, with the discontinuation of medications as the omission that caused the subsequent criminal act, should be extremely rare. It is also important to note that the employment of both Tatbestandsmodell and Ausnahmemodell will lead to the same conclusion. |
