    Short answer: No. It will not change the legal system.

    It depends on the statutory requirements, this link may be helpful. These are the mens rea (basically the mental state) requirements of an individual for different types and levels of crimes from the Model Penal Code( or MPC). The MPC is like a helpful template for legislatures to use in crafting their criminal codes.
