Reckless acts are not accidental acts-they're committed with a conscious disregard for the likely consequences. In some situations, though, you can commit criminal mischief if you act recklessly. For example, if you're playing baseball and accidentally hit the ball through your neighbor's window, this act is not criminal mischief. The law requires that you damage the property intentionally and not simply accidentally. You can't accidentally commit criminal mischief. To secure a conviction for criminal or malicious mischief, the prosecutor must prove the defendant (1) intentionally or recklessly damaged (2) another's property (3) without consent. The amount of damage can be minor or significant-it's the unlawful act of damaging property that is key to this crime. The crime of criminal mischief occurs whenever someone intentionally damages someone else's property without their consent. Criminal mischief is also known as malicious mischief, vandalism, damage to property, or by other names depending on the state. Any time a person damages someone else's property without the owner's permission, that's criminal mischief.
