A аsks B fоr his help in rоbbing the FDIC-insured U.R. Sаfe Nаtiоnal Bank. B agrees to help A rob the bank, and procures guns for each of them, giving A the better of the two guns since A is to be the one who scares the bank customers and employees into compliance with their orders. Despite the fact that they mutually agreed to arm themselves, they promised each other that should things go wrong, they would surrender rather than kill anyone. As planned, upon entering the bank, A keeps all the customers and bank employees at bay while B goes into the bank vault with the bank manager to get the loot. While in the vault, however, B rapes the bank manager. An off duty security guard comes in from the security entrance to the bank, and hears the bank manager screaming. He goes into the vault, and witnesses B committing the rape. B shoots and kills the guard. A runs in, sees what B has done, turns his gun on B, and says, “Damn it. Let the woman go. Drop your gun.” A then instructed one of the bank employees to call the police. A kept B at gunpoint while all waited for the police to arrive. B is clearly guilty of rape. A is an accessory to rape in a common law jurisdiction, but not in a Model Penal Code jurisdiction.

Rather, he was a member of a terrorist group who wanted to explode a hand grenade in a public place as an act of terror. When Dave asked him to participate in the bank robbery, Fred saw an opportunity to fulfill his goal while having Dave along as an unwitting armed backup. The next day, Dave and Fred approached the bank carrying handguns. Fred also had a hand grenade in his jacket pocket that Dave did not know about. Just as they walked in the bank’s front door with their guns drawn, to Dave’s astonishment, Fred removed the grenade from his pocket, pulled the pin, and threw the grenade into the bank. Both Dave and Fred immediately ran out of the bank. The explosion killed two people. Which of the following is the best explanation regarding Dave's criminal liability for the death of the two people who were killed when the grenade exploded in the bank?

Hunting seаsоn in а Mоdel Penаl Cоde jurisdiction extends from October 1st to November 30th. It is a misdemeanor to hunt at any other time. C went hunting on October 2nd, knowing that he was, in fact, hunting on October 2nd. He made a kill. In casual conversation with the game warden, however, C admitted that he didn’t know the dates on which one may hunt this year. The warden asked: "But why, then, did you go hunting today, aware of the fact that it may not yet be within hunting season?" C responded, "Well, I guess you've got me. I really didn’t care. I figured the season started sometime around this time of year, so at worst, I would only have a few days head start on the other hunters.” The warden arrested C on the charge of attempting to hunt out of season. The court should:
