Dаvid аnd Victоr were friends whо liked tо pull prаnks on each other. These pranks escalated in severity as time went on. One day, David thought it would be funny to lock Victor in a closest and set fireworks off from under the door with him inside. Unfortunately, a fire started and before David knew something was seriously wrong, Victor had burnt to death. Another friend, Trey, had witnessed the entire event. David thought to himself “If I hit Trey hard enough across the head, he would suffer a brain injury serious enough to cause him to forget what he saw.” David took a metal bat and hit Trey across the head with it. Unfortunately, David hit Trey a little too hard and Trey was instantly killed. Terrified of what had occurred, David fled. David was later found by the police. What crimes, if any, is David guilty of? Discuss mens rea, actus reus, and all other relevant issues.
