Hello,
I've been reading into "Doli Incapax" and have read through some of the threads on this site where it has been mentioned on a number of occasions.
Some of the posts say that Doli Incapax can be applied retrospectively to crimes committed before 1998. Where can I find the legislation that supports that.
A very dear friend of mine has been accused of a crime he allegedly committed in 1982 when he was 12. His solicitor has never mentioned "Doli Incapax" to him, is it time to get a new solicitor.
Also, does it matter that he now realises that he MAY have done wrong, or is it his state of mind as a 12 year old that will be judged.
My friend is devastated, close to a nervous breakdown, I am trying to help him in every way I can. I can go into more detail if I have too.
Thanks
Lisa
