Practice question
A legally punishable culpable felony is proved through the required negligence and causation. The accused says there was no wish to injure and therefore no possible liability. Which is best?

- Negligence automatically proves every intentional offense
- The absence of malicious design does not automatically exclude a properly established culpable felony; dolo and culpa must be distinguished
- A good personal reason always excuses negligence
- The victim must prove the accused enjoyed the harm
