In this episode of Law School in Plain English, we dive into one of the most critical concepts in criminal law: mens rea, or the “guilty mind.” Using the famous O.J. Simpson trail as our guide, we’ll explore how intent is established in a criminal case and why it is essential for proving guilt. Hear how both the prosecution and defense approached mens rea through powerful opening and closing statements, and learn how this concept can mean the difference between conviction and acquittal. Whether you’re a law student, considering going to law school, or a true crime enthusiast, this podcast is for you as it breaks down the complexities of criminal law - once concept at a time.
