The terminally ill with cancer will definitely be exempt from criminal liability?

Dear Lawyer,Is it true that every individual with terminal cancer will definitely be exempt from criminal liability?

Based on Clause 1, Clause 2b, Article 29 of the 2015 Criminal Code, the provisions are as follows:

  1. The offender shall be exempt from criminal liability under one of the following grounds:

- During investigation, prosecution, or trial, due to a change in policy or law, the criminal act is no longer dangerous to society;- When there is a decision of amnesty.

  1. The offender may be exempt from criminal liability under one of the following grounds:

- During investigation, prosecution, or trial, the offender has a terminal illness leading to the inability to pose a danger to society any longer.

Thus, if a person is in the terminal stage of cancer and the competent authority confirms that this person no longer has the ability to pose a danger to society, he/she may be exempt from criminal liability but is not automatically exempt from criminal liability.

Respectfully!
