My explanation, a prima vista, would not come specifically from the criminal law. It would be the following:
All people are born and remain equal.
This is the law.
And a general principle of law states that the ingorance of law does not excuse anyone.

You are welcome! Just to be clear, you are right about mens rea. What you said is true:
prachi написа:I understand that mens rea is a big factor in criminal prosecution. If the person has no intent or knowledge of wrongdoing, then he many receive a shorter sentence, or none (Maybe, not sure).

That's just my opinion in the particular case, which, I think, is different. Unless, of course, there are other factors (medical, pathological) that overall compromise the culprit's culpability. I am no expert though. Cheers! :)
