	Guilt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A nearly universal notion is that guilt cannot accrue by ignorance except remarkably by ignorance of the law- giving law special status in any ontology.
		Guilt can sometimes be remedied by punishment (a common action and advised or required in many legal and moral codes), by forgiveness (as in transformative justice), or by sincere remorse (as with confession in Catholicism or restorative justice).
		In psychology and ordinary language, guilt is an affective state in which one experiences conflict at having done something one believes one should not have done.

	'Apology' was admission of guilt
		International law gives us the legal effects and consequences of what was done and what happened is an illegal occupation of the territory of a recognized member of the family of nations in violation of treaty and international law.
		An "apology," under evidence law, can be an admission of a party opponent to incriminating facts (Letters, Feb. 13).
		Apology Bill was a detailed admission of wrongdoing

	TRACTS: DEALING WITH GUILT author A. Graeme Fuller
		Indeed, one reads accounts from time to time in the media of criminals, who having escaped the net of the law, confess to their crimes years later, because the burden of their guilt is too heavy to carry, and they wish to be rid of it.
		This is both a judicial act, like being acquitted from a criminal charge in a court of law by a judge, and a physical experience: having your conscience cleansed (like suddenly being relieved of a heavy burden which you have had to carry around on your shoulders wherever you go).
		A woman might have inexplicable feelings of guilt, which she wishes to be rid of.

	Basic principles
		It is inherent to such comprehensive protection by means of the criminal law, however, that the offence provisions cover a range of violations which differ considerably in the nature and extent of the threat which they pose to the protected rights or interests and in the individual level of wrongdoing and guilt involved.
		The principle that penalization must be in accordance with a law is adhered to; the limits of punishable behaviour are determined by the law, as are the restrictions on the obligation to prosecute.
		The principle of equality before the law prohibits the unequal treatment of matters that are essentially equal, at the same time requiring matters which are essentially unequal to be treated unequally according to their nature.

	Dell Gines » Thoughts on White Guilt
		I sure don’t know of any type of sound law (moral, especially since we’re talking about “guilt”, or other type of law) or legal principle that says Known Stolen Goods can be kept under the ‘Tough Luck’ Doctrine.
		The issue/theory of ‘white guilt’ is predicated on the idea that this country’s systems (political, economic, social, cultural) were, in large part, set up by and for the benefit of the white majority.
		At once, they will claim, as Dell, noted “Whites have nothing to feel guilty about”, “Whites living today aren’t responsible for the racial wrongs of yesteryear” but then, when certain Whites hold positions that don’t align with their CON positions, they are quick to say their behavior is one that’s out of White Guilt.

	Non-statutory law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Under statutory law, the jury must accept the law as the judge "gives" it to them and may only make a finding of guilt or no guilt based only on the facts that the judge, acting on behalf of the government, deems appropriate for them to consider.
		Under statutory law, the individual with charged by the government in its own name with the violation of a code, rule or revised statute that is part of a larger set of rules that are numbered with definitions and references scattered throughout the codes.
		The huge collection of "law books" seen in most law offices is for the most part not a compilation of statutory law; in most U.S. states, for example, the collection of currently valid and enforceable statutory law would take up one moderately-sized bookshelf.

	I Confess (Mathieu Deflem) - Page 6: Public Guilt
		Public guilt is the guilt of a person labeled by the social order, the formal system of law and its representatives.
		The chase is seen by society as a confession of guilt, but for the protagonist its is the only possible means to search for truth, to attempt to rid one self of the guilt society has inflicted.
		In Saboteur (1942), the man mistakenly held accountable for an act of sabotage is marked by society's most forceful symbols of guilt.

	Essays.cc - The Treaty Of Versailles
		The “War Guilt Clause,” Article 231 in the treaty, arose out of a controversy during the negotiations in the spring of 1919 concerning the nature of reparations that would be collected.
		In his speech to Reichstag on September 1, 1939, on the eve of World War II and almost exactly twenty years after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, Hitler declared the treaty void: For us Germans the dictated Treaty of Versailles is not law.
		It will not do to blackmail a person at the point of a pistol with the threat of starvation for millions of people into signing a document and afterwards proclaim that this document with its forced signature was a solemn law.

	Guilt
		Guilt can arise from things we say and do that directly violate God's law.
		Guilt is a fact of life because sin is a fact of life.

	Gift From Within - Article: "Guilt Following Traumatic Events"
		Even in a faith that makes no distinction between the two (i.e., the Hindu law of karma), conscience and the sense of guilt suggest a spiritual awareness (e.g., knowledge of the spirit in others and of the suffering of others; Davis, 2001).
		Guilt can occur not only in relationship to what we ought or ought not to do but in relationship to our views about what we ought to be.
		Guilt may prevent someone from facing other key issues or intense emotions, and, in that sense, may serve as an unrecognized method of avoidance (Chaplin, 1975; Nader, 1997).

	The Province of Divine Law, by J. W. Williams
		Since the divine purpose in law is to lead through guilt to grace, if anyone could have kept the law he would put himself outside of salvation, which is declared to be by grace, and so God would "miss" as to His purpose.
		The law to Israel by Moses is declared to have been for this same device (Deut.4:29; 6:1-3; Joshua 1:8), though this was the less important (yet seemingly the sole) purpose of it.
		There was pride before the law at Sinai was given, for in the confidence of the flesh Israel said, "All that the Lord has spoken will we do, and be obedient," and then proceeded immediately to worship the golden calf while Moses was receiving the law they had just promised to keep.

	076.txt
		The "laws" we think we must obey in order to save our bodies are just the mind's attempt to camouflage the real problem, which is its own thoughts of guilt and separation.
		These include bodily laws, such as laws of nutrition, medicine, and economics; social laws, such as laws of reciprocity and good relationship; and religious laws, which set forth what you must give to God in order for Him to grant you His gifts.
		At any given moment, for instance, you might find that you feel oppressed by the laws of hunger, of time (you may be working against a deadline), of money (you may feel a shortage), and of social dynamics (you may be in a politically delicate situation).

	Taboo
		Some taboo activities or customs are prohibited under law and their guilt often carry severe penalties.
		When an activity or custom is classified as taboo it is forbidden and interdictions are implemented concerning the topic, such as the ground set apart as a sanctuary for criminals.
		No taboo is known to be universal, but some (such as the incest taboo) occur in the majority of societies.

	Sagax Research Quarterly - 35
		The Celtic south was extremely guilt-ridden by the practice of slavery but economically hand-tied by the Anglo-Norman plantations.
		The thorny problem rests in the Celtic laws which at worst took away civil rights and freedom to leave tribal land, but never enslaved.
		Had these been another people the duality of holding up a law and breaking it would not have been a stressor.

		Guilt and shame are human reactions to sin, and both are spoken of in the Scriptures.

	frontline: the plea: four stories: harmonizing substantive criminal law values... PBS
		At common law, a defendant could ask the court to impose a merciful sentence without confessing guilt and without estopping himself from later pleading not guilty on the same facts.
		If the criminal law is to educate the public and teach offenders lessons, we must be willing to spend money, just as we must spend for good educations in schools.
		This kind of moral argument is almost unheard of in proceduralist literature, a clue that procedure is adrift from the moral moorings of the substantive criminal law.

	Drug Offense Law, by Michael J. Rocque, Esq., Fort Lauderdale, FL
		The method of resolving a drug arrest case is always best to be determined by evaluating the person's needs as well as the laws which apply to the filed charge and the person's guilt or innocence.
		All in all, drug offenses in the State of Florida are considered serious and are treated that way, however, there are a number of options available to people who are arrested and charged with drug offenses.
		Being arrested for a drug offense doesn't have to be a terrible experience that destroys the offender's life and family.

	A Sense of Guilt and a Sense of Sin
		Lord, "The Sense of Guilt as an Instrument of Law and Order," Listener, Mar.
		I would therefore conclude that a sense of guilt is a necessary factor for the maintenance of order, and indeed that it plays a much more important part in the preservation of order than any punishment that the state can impose.
		Unfortunately, since the reality of sin remains and since the effect of sin is a sense of guilt, our society is plagued by a dis-ease with which it is totally unable to cope.

	Nabataean Religion: Honor and Shame
		Guilt did not have the same power and influence as it did in the west.
		Even to this day, much of the western legal system is still built around the basic Roman code of law.
		There are more examples of theologians who were also lawyers, such as Martin Luther, but this list will suffice to point out that legal thought and expression had much to do with the development of the theology of the Early Church and the Reformation.

		Braggs filed a direct appeal of his conviction with the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, asserting as his sole claim the evidence was insufficient to prove his guilt.
		A direct appeal effectively exhausts state remedies under Oklahoma law because "[i]ssues which were raised and decided on direct appeal are barred from further consideration [at the state level] by res judicata." Paxton v.
		This order and judgment is not binding precedent except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata and collateral estoppel.

	Extracts from William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England 1765-1769
		But by the law, as it now stands, and has stood at least ever since the time of Edward the third, the capacity of doing ill, or contracting guilt, is not so much measured by years and days, as by the strength of the delinquent's understanding and judgment.
		For the law always imagines, that these accidental misfortunes may be removed; and therefore only constitutes the crown a trustee for the unfortunate persons, to protect their property, and to account to them for all profits received, if they recover, or after their decease to their representatives.
		These are the general heads of the laws relating to the poor which, by the resolutions of the courts of justice thereon within a century past, are branched into a great variety.

	Commentaries on the Laws of England
		Our law, in this and many other respects, corresponds rather with the middle age of Roman jurisprudence, when liberty, learning and humanity were in their full vigour, than with the cruel edicts that were established in the dark and tyrannical ages of the ancient decemviri, or the later emperors.
		For the same reason it is immaterial with respect to the essence of a libel, whether the matter of it be true or false; since the provocation, and the falsity, is the thing to be punished criminally: though doubtless, the falsehood of it may aggravate its guilt and enhance its punishment.
		But to punish (as the law does at present any dangerous or offensive writings, which, when published, shall on a fair and impartial trial be adjudged of a pernicious tendency, is necessary for the preservation of peace and good order, of government and religion, the only solid foundations of civil liberty.

	The Principle of Liberty Chapter 7 - PERSON AND PROPERTY: Mind, Body and Property, Extending the Protection of Law, Liberty and Enforcement Services.
		The Enforcement Agencies collectively are responsible for enforcing the law in various ways, from administrative checks of weights and measures to the physical force of the Police; in cases of suspected lawbreaking the guilty party must be identified through the Judicial process; and where guilt is established, there must be restoration to the injured party.
		Law Enforcement and Justice are generally well conducted in the politically mature countries; this tradition must be preserved and enhanced, and every care must be taken to ensure that no Agent or Agency of the Enforcement Services is permitted conduct outside the bounds of Law and Constitutional Regulation.
		Consider, for example, the Law requiring minimum-wear standards on the tyres of motor vehicles, and laws requiring seatbelt use.

		Adhereence to the law, custom, and tradition is a matter of honor...disregard for or defiance of them is cause for shame...Thus, compliance should not be mistaken for passivity, for it represents the active upholding of and participation in a culture's value system which centers on respect for authority and tradition.
		The key to motivation in such a society is the acquisition of honor that brings high status to the individual, and conversely the avoidance of shame that is a guarantee of low status.
		Compliance is an integral part of cultural cohesion in societies in which strict adherence to social codes and patterns of living is demanded, enforced, and rewarded, and resistance is punished...Compliance also figures significantly in the code of honor and shame.
