What Is Considered To Be “Criminal Negligence” If You Have Been Arrested For Contributing To The Delinquency Of A Minor (PC 272(a)(1)) In Riverside County Or Orange County

Posted in Domestic Violence FAQ'S on May 5, 2015

A person acts with “criminal negligence” under PC 272(a)(1) when:

(1) He or she acts in a reckless way that creates a high risk of death or great bodily injury AND
(2) A reasonable person would have known that acting in that way would create such a risk

In other words, a person acts with criminal negligence when the way he or she acts is so different from the way an ordinary careful person would act in the same situation that his or her act amounts to disregard for human life or indifference to the consequences of that act.

If you, or a family member has been arrested for Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor (PC 272(a)(1)) in Riverside County or Orange County, call Criminal Defense Attorney Graham Donath at (951) 667-5293
