liability and of mental culpability. The minimum requirement for criminal liability is the
performance by a person of conduct which includes a voluntary act or the omission to perform
an act which he is physically capable of performing. If that conduct is all that is required for
commission of a particular offense, or if an offense or some material element thereof does not
require a culpable mental state on the part of the actor, the offense is one of "strict liability". If a
culpable mental state on the part of the actor is required with respect to any material element of
an offense, the offense is one of "mental culpability".
