One of these elements typically has to do with the defendant's mental state. Usually, prosecutors must show that the defendant acted intentionally or knowingly. But, with strict liability crimes, the prosecution doesn't need to prove that a defendant intended to do something that's illegal. The prosecution doesn't even need to establish that the defendant was reckless or negligent. It's enough for a conviction to prove that the act was committed and the defendant committed it.\n\nWhy Have Strict Liability Crimes?\n\"Strict liability\" is a concept mainly applicable to civil law. It's a way of holding someone accountable for behavior regardless of fault (such as in product liability cases). Because criminal punishment is usually reserved for those who act with a culpable (guilty) mental state, strict liability crimes are rare. But some acts produce outcomes that lawmakers want to criminally punish regardless of a defendant's state of mind.\n\nWhat Are Common Strict Liability Offenses?\nProbably the most well-known example of a strict liability crime is statutory rape. Most states make it a crime to have sex with a minor, even if the defendant honestly and reasonably believed that the sexual partner was old enough to give legal consent.\n\nSelling alcohol to a minor is another strict liability crime. In some states, a conviction is appropriate even if the seller honestly thought the buyer was 21 or older and tried to confirm as much.\n\nSome traffic offenses are strict liability crimes. In many places, it doesn't matter whether a driver knowingly went over the speed limit\u2014the plain act of speeding typically justifies a conviction."}

A plaintiff in such a lawsuit need not make an extrinsic showing of discriminatory animus or a discriminatory effect to trigger strict scrutiny. \u201cNo inquiry into legislative purpose is necessary when the racial classification appears on the face of the statute.\u201d Shaw, 509 U.S. at 642, 113 S.Ct. 2816. The burden of proof shifts, strict scrutiny applies, and \u201c[u]nder strict scrutiny, the government [defending the constitutionality of the law] has the burden of proving that racial classifications \u2018are narrowly tailored measures that further compelling governmental interests.\u2019 \u201d Johnson, 125 S.Ct. at 1146 (quoting Adarand, 515 U.S. at 227, 115 S.Ct. 2097). As noted above, the Supreme Court has explained that we \u201c \u2018apply strict scrutiny to all racial classifications to \u201csmoke out\u201d illegitimate uses of race by assuring that government is pursuing a goal important enough to warrant use of a highly suspect tool.\u2019 \u201d Id.

But where it does not appear on which of the two grounds the judgment was based, then, if the independent ground on which it might have been based was a good and valid one, sufficient of itself to sustain the judgment, this court will not assume jurisdiction of the case; but if such independent ground was not a good and valid one, it will be presumed that the State court based its judgment on the law raising the Federal question, and this court will then take jurisdiction"}

The state did argue that if defendant's attorney's advice was, for instance, \u201cthis is breaking the law but you can go ahead and do it as I think you can get away with it,\u201d or something to that effect, the reliance would not be in good faith and not relevant on the issue of intent. The state conceded, however, that if defendant's attorney had made a good-faith determination that defendant's actions were legal and later it was determined that his research was flawed, his advice would be relevant on the issue of intent. However, the state still continues to claim that counsel's advice is irrelevant because the state argues that \u201cscienter\u201d is an element of conspiracy on the two counts against defendant, but insisted that scienter goes to the \u201cintent to commit the specific bad act that is an essential element of the crime,\u201d not the conspiracy itself. The defense argues that scienter is an essential element of conspiracy on the two counts against defendant and that the state is required to prove \u201cintent to conspire.\u201d We conclude the state is required to prove \u201cintent to conspire.\u201d Thus, the attorney's advice, if in good faith, is relevant on the issue of intent to conspire to procuring unlawful voting and to commit forgery.\nWe conclude that good-faith reliance on the advice of counsel is an available defense when intent is an element of the charged crime."}
