Depends what sort of charge. Sometime it is and sometimes it isn't. But generally not knowing the law isn't a defence. The quote on CNN was literally "she didn't know what she was doing had legal repercussions". I was talking specifically about ignorance of, not intent to break, the law. But I actually don't know the specific reason why some idiots are allowed to break some laws.
