Page 173 Reviewing #1-4 1. Did Hanousek have the required mental state (mens rea) to be convicted of a crime? Why or why not? Yes he did have the mental state, because he was the corporate officer responsible for the project and he had the power to prevent the criminal violation. Corporate directors/officers are personally liable for the crimes they commit, and they can also be held liable for the crimes of their employees that are under their supervision. Hanousek can be held criminally negligent for the backhoe operator puncturing the pipeline because Hanousek was the corporate officer who is responsible for every detail of the 6-mile quarry, he also had the power to prevent the criminal violation.

Which theory discussed in the chapter would enable a court to hold Hanousek criminally liable for violating the statute regardless of whether he participated in, directed, or even know about the specific violation? The theory to enable the court to hold Hanousek criminally liable for violating the statue regardless of whether he participated in, directed or even knew about the specific violation would be the Responsible Corporate Officer Doctrine. Hanousek was criminally liable because his conduct was negligent and due to his negligence, the spill took place. Hanouseks job as a road master was to ensure that the pipeline was protected, since he failed to ensure this, and with him being an authorative figure over the operator, this holds him criminally liable. 3. Could the backhoe operator who punctured the pipeline also be charged with a crime in this situation? Explain The backhoe operator cant be charged with a crime in this case even though it was his mistake that lead to the accident. Hanousek was the supervisor and he, could have prevented the accident from occurring. The law puts the responsibility solely on him. The backhoe operator would basically be unable to be convicted because most corporations have clauses in place to shield employees and leaving all the responsibility on their superiors. 4. Suppose that at trial, Hanousek argued that he could not be convicted because he was not aware of the requirements of the CWA. Would this defense be successful? Why or why not? Although Hansouk was in charge of overseeing the facilities of the railroad project, his defense would not stand a chance in court because he knows that he is dealing with a dangerous device that would potentially be a danger to the public. He would at a minimum be guilty of strict liability which would enable him to be convicted of a violation even if he had no knowledge of the illegality of the action.
