In criminal law, guilt is the state of being responsible for the commission of an offense. Legal guilt is entirely externally defined by the state, or more generally a “court of law”. Being “guilty” of a criminal offense means that one has committed a violation of criminal law, or performed all the elements of the offense set out by a criminal statute. The determination that one has committed that violation is made by an external body (a “court of law”) and is, therefore, as definitive as the record-keeping of the body. So the most basic definition is fundamentally circular: a person is guilty of violating a law, if a court says so.
Philosophically, guilt in criminal law is a reflection of a functioning society and its ability to condemn individuals’ actions. It rests fundamentally on a presumption of free will, in which individuals choose actions and are, therefore, subjected to external judgement of the rightness or wrongness of those actions.
See also Cotton, Michael, A FOOLISH CONSISTENCY: KEEPING DETERMINISM OUT OF THE CRIMINAL LAW, 15 B.U. Pub. Int. L.J. 1 (“A substantial body of scholarship has concerned itself with the importance of free will to the theory of the criminal law. Even given the importance of the subject, the quantity of attention is surprising because of the lack of fundamental disagreement among scholars, who overwhelmingly endorse the criminal law's assumption of free will.”)
Guilt may refer to:
Law is a system of rules that are enforced through social institutions to govern behavior. Laws can be made by a collective legislature or by a single legislator, resulting in statutes, by the executive through decrees and regulations, or by judges through binding precedent, normally in common law jurisdictions. Private individuals can create legally binding contracts, including arbitration agreements that may elect to accept alternative arbitration to the normal court process. The formation of laws themselves may be influenced by a constitution, written or tacit, and the rights encoded therein. The law shapes politics, economics, history and society in various ways and serves as a mediator of relations between people.
A general distinction can be made between (a) civil law jurisdictions (including Catholic canon law and socialist law), in which the legislature or other central body codifies and consolidates their laws, and (b) common law systems, where judge-made precedent is accepted as binding law. Historically, religious laws played a significant role even in settling of secular matters, which is still the case in some religious communities, particularly Jewish, and some countries, particularly Islamic. Islamic Sharia law is the world's most widely used religious law.
HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "religion" is not recognized
Leonard Norman Cohen, CC GOQ (born 21 September 1934) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, musician, painter, poet, and novelist. His work has explored religion, politics, isolation, sexuality, and personal relationships. Cohen has been inducted into both the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame as well as the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is also a Companion of the Order of Canada, the nation's highest civilian honor. In 2011, Cohen received a Princess of Asturias Awards for literature.
The critic Bruce Eder assessed Cohen's overall career in popular music by asserting that "[he is] one of the most fascinating and enigmatic … singer/songwriters of the late '60s … [and] has retained an audience across four decades of music-making.... Second only to Bob Dylan (and perhaps Paul Simon) [in terms of influence], he commands the attention of critics and younger musicians more firmly than any other musical figure from the 1960s who is still working at the outset of the 21st century."

It is sensible for the criminal law to target those who participate in the crimes of others. For example, where James pays Lucy to kill Fred, or provides Fred with a gun so that he can rob the local bank, James has not committed murder or robbery directly, but his actions are surely those that the law should punish. Indeed, when we consider the dangers of organised and/or gang related crimes, as well as the growing interconnectedness of the modern world, it may be increasingly important for the criminal law to possess the tools necessary to break up criminal networks and punish them when they come to light. However, in response to these legitimate aims and concerns, the current law has developed (in courts and through Parliament) in a manner that is striking for its inadequacy. In his talk...

The incident made national headlines and sparked a national debate on race relations that reached all the way to the White House. Harvard law professor Charles Ogletree acted as counsel to professor Gates throughout the incident, which he documents along with other incidents of racial profiling in his new book, "The Presumption of Guilt: The Arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Race, Class and Crime in America."

Davos functionaries reveal their desire to use electronic 'mind-reading' technology, to reveal whether you are guilty of anything. They claim it already exists, and that no one has any legal protection against it. No warrants, apparently no trials or jury (what jury would buy this).

Romans 7:14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my i...

Healing Damaged Emotions (Part 2) -- Victory Over Guilt By Dr. Charles Stanley Watch Victory Over Guilt video. Key Scripture: John 8:1-11 I. Introduction: Everyone experiences feelings of guilt, but sometimes, they can't even identify a specific reason for feeling worthy of blame. A vague sense of condemnation robs them of joy, assurance, and confidence, but that's not how God designed guilt to operate. The story of Jesus and the adulterous woman is an example of true guilt (John 8:1-11). She stood before the scribes and Pharisees without excuse. Everyone knew she'd broken the Mosaic Law and deserved death, but when Jesus challenged those without sin to cast the first stone, all her accusers walked away. He told her, "I do not condemn you either. Go. From now on sin no more" (v. 11). ...
Main Points from the episode 1 : * Happiness is not based on achievement. It is not the destination, it is on the journey. * Happiness is a state of being, created while working towards the goal, not a feeling to be experienced after achieving the goal. * Obstacles on the journey are obstructions in our achievements, not obstructions in our happiness. * If we believe happiness is at the destination, then we will experience fear and anxiety if there is any obstacle or delay on the journey. Our every thought, word and action is OUR creation. Situations come to us from outside, but our responses are completely OUR choice.
