committed a crime of extortion


Explanation:
já bych to zjednodušil. Cílem je, aby uživatel textu rozuměl, ne aby si vychutnal každou bizarnost českého soudního newspeaku.

neutral  Pavel Slama: To je poněkud zjednodušující, zvláště když v anglickém právu existuje ekvivalentní koncept, byť se nepoužívá v každém odsuzujícím roszudku.

[essential] elements of the offence of x [were/have been] [made out/satisfied]


Explanation:
Tato otázka se tu objevuje celkem často. Naštěstí mám po ruce argumentaci anglického právníka, která se zabývá tím, jestli je něco znakem určité skutkové podstaty nebo ne.

V té české verzi by správně mělo být: *skutkové podstaty* trestného činu. Právě z toho důvodu bych zvážil slovo *essential*.

„Offence“ je „trestný čin“ britskou angličtinou.

IMHO je lepší převést v angličtině do pasiva.

my approach to this was that both mens rea and actus reus were present, i.e. "satisfied".
