Q: What are the primary factors that can excuse or relieve an individual from
being held criminally responsible for an act?

someone from knowing right from wrong.
Self-Defense: The justified use of reasonable force to protect oneself from
immediate harm.

where no criminal negligence or intent was present.
Q: In legal terms, what does "Specific Intent" refer to?
A: ✔✔ Specific Intent describes a particular, wrongful state of mind where the

intend to take the item and specifically intend to keep it from the owner
