§ 15.10   Requirements  for criminal liability in general and
                   for offenses of strict  liability  and  mental
                   culpability.
    The   minimal  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 such 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,  such  offense  is  one of "strict
liability. "  If a culpable mental state on the part of the actor
is required with respect to every material element of an offense,
such offense is one of "mental culpability."
