Causality does not necessarily imply temporal order in the legal world, because the legal _meaning_ of an act might sometimes be established only at a later point of time. Taking something in a supermarket without paying constitutes theft. The relevant activity of the theft is done at the time I take the ware, the status of the theft is established when I pass the cash register. Passing a cash register, however, is not what the law considers a crime.
WTF does the foregoing rant have to do with anything in reality? Sincerely, RJack :)
