Practice question
Two persons damage property. One deliberately destroys it; the other causes the legally relevant damage through proved negligent failure to foresee an obvious risk. Every applicable offense requirement is established. The defense insists identical loss amounts require the same dolo finding. Which distinction matters?
- Identical money loss always proves identical intent
- The mental mode depends on deliberate intent or proved fault, not solely on equal damage amounts
- Every damage amount conclusively establishes deceit
- Culpa is impossible whenever money is lost
- Only the property’s color determines the mental mode
