Have you heard of the word jury? Jury is a group of non professional people who are summoned to a court to judge a criminal case. As we are living in the United States, It seems that all of us have a pretty high opportunity to be choosen as a member of a jury. Because of that, It is very important for us to have precise skills to see a criminal case exactly to prevent the unfair verdict from happening. First of all, we should know how to classify crimes so that we can take some advantages from it, Which will definitely make it easier for us to interpret criminal cases better. But unfortunately, We are not professional so it is very difficult for us to do this. So I will give you some suggestion about what kind of standards can be used to classify crimes.
The first important standard for crime classification is whether it is intentional or not. If a crime was intentionally planned and done before, then it is likely to have high priority to be guilty. On the other hand, If a crime was just done by accident and there was no purpose on it, then we can consider that this has low guilty priority. For example, Let's suppose that there was a accident that a man killed another man with a gun and robbed him. Then we can try to think it was intentional or not. Obviously, This guy killed the other guy on purpose to steal his money or something. So this was intentional crime and we can give him a harsh verdict in a court. Here is another imaginary situation. There was a accident that a man was fighting with another man. The man pushed the other man in the fight but accidently, pushed guy's head was crushed on the ground and died as a consequence of it. Try to think of it. This guy didn't mean to kill him from the first so we can think this guy was not as much guilty as the previous case.
