Victоr lives in а mоdest twо-bedroom home in а sаfe neighborhood with his wife and two small children. One night, while sleeping peacefully next to his wife, Victor awakens to someone coughing in the living room area. The cough is a deep baritone cough. Victor walks into the living room and sees an adult male (Adam) standing therein looking around the living room area. Victor sees Adam is holding Victor’s stereo equipment under his left arm and a large knife in his right hand. Victor then sees Adam wobbling unsteadily and then sees Adam stagger toward his children’s bedroom. Victor yells stop! Adam turns around and advances on Victor with knife raised. The two men struggle during which Adam stabs Victor in his left arm. Victor’s wife hears the commotion and runs into the living room and sees her husband bleeding and struggling with a knife-wielding stranger near the children’s bedroom. Victor’s wife runs to the closet, retrieves a metal baseball bat and, with all her strength, swings at Adam’s head. The blow connects and Adam collapses to the floor unconscious and bleeding from the back of his head. Victor’s wife then takes the knife from Adam’s hand, and dials 911 to summon police. Meanwhile Victor examines unconscious Adam to see to determine whether he is still alive. While so doing Victor smells a strong odor of alcohol emitting from Adam’s breath. Victor glances at his children’s bedroom door and then looks down at his own bleeding and damaged arm. He becomes furious and launches a powerful kick to Adam’s face breaking Adam’s jaw. Police arrive; both Adam and Victor are separately transported to the emergency room for treatment of their respective injuries. Upon his release from the hospital one week later, Adam is arrested by police for the events occurring in Victor’s home that night. Adam asserts that he had been drinking heavily at a local bar that night and recalls walking home. Adam further asserts that once he entered “his home” he heard a male’s snoring coming from his bedroom. He became frightened, grabbed a large knife from the kitchen … and asserts he remembers nothing more. Further police investigation reveals that (1) Adam lives in the same residential neighborhood, but a few streets from Victor’s home; (2) that Adam and Victor’s homes had similar exterior appearances and interior floor plans; and (3) that Adam’s hospital blood sample that night measured a blood-alcohol content of .20% - which is (for reference only) two and a half times the legal limit for purpose of driving. Assume the above events occurred in a Common Law jurisdiction. Identify and discuss the potential crimes chargeable to Adam and any relevant defenses related to those crimes. Identify and discuss the potential crimes chargeable to Victor and any relevant defenses related to those crimes. Identify and discuss the potential crimes chargeable to Victor’s Wife and any relevant defenses related to those crimes.

When Jаy heаrd оn the news thаt his brоther Alfred had died, he decided tо take revenge on the mayor who he knew must have had something to do with his brother’s death. He decided to attack the mayor’s house, kill him, and burn the house to the ground. After spending several months planning, he took action. First, he went to a local bar to hire a motorcycle gang. Jay promised to pay them by letting them loot the mansion before he burned it. After Jay explained his entire plan, the gang agreed to help him attack the mayor’s house. As soon as they shook hands to signal their agreement, undercover police, who had been surveilling the gang in the bar, displayed their badges and arrested Jay and the gang members. Before trial, Jay spoke to his attorney who expressed concerns about his competence to stand trial. A full competence evaluation was conducted and Jay was found competent. At trial, the gang, who had all taken plea deals, made full confessions on the stand and implicated Jay as the mastermind of the whole plot. Jay, against his attorney’s advice, testified on his own behalf. Jay explained that his brother had not been killed by Claudia’s potion, but had been murdered by Courtney, who was actually the priestess of a snake cult, at the orders of her husband, Luke, who was actually a vampire wizard. When asked on cross examination how he knew these facts, Jay stated that he had been visited by the ghost of his brother Alfred who told him all of these things and had given him the mission to kill Courtney and Luke before they could activate a Rod of Cataclysm, a magical nuclear bomb that would destroy the whole city. Assuming the Court finds that Jay believes his own testimony, what crimes, if any can Jay be convicted of? This jurisdiction uses the M’Naghten test.
Dаniel аnd his friend Steve wоrked tоgether in the sаme оffice doing the same low-wage work. They always talked about how unfair it was that their boss did nothing all day and yet got paid so much more than them. One day, Daniel and Steve decided they would put on masks, wait for their boss to leave the office late at night, and rob him. However, Daniel and Steve did not know that their boss had just taken a week-long vacation and was not even in the office at that time. The security cameras caught the two in masks waiting outside the building, so Steve threw a rock at the camera, breaking it. The two were later arrested and eventually admitted to their plan. Both Daniel and Steve were charged with attempted robbery and criminal damage to property. Daniel argues he cannot be charged with attempted robbery since he could not actually complete the crime, and that he cannot be charged with criminal damage to property since Steve was the one who threw the rock and Daniel did not tell him to throw the rock. Discuss the validity of Daniels’ defenses.
Eаrlier this yeаr, Cоurtney, the gоvernоr’s dаughter, married Luke, the capital’s mayor and a rising political star. Alfred decided that Courtney would be happier with him than with Luke, so he hatched a plan to win her heart. He went to his friend, Claudia, and asked her to make a magic love potion, though he did not tell her about his plan to break into the mayor’s house. Claudia worked as a boutique tea maker, researching old recipes from historical texts and recreating them to the best of her ability. She figured that a love potion, though probably not really magical, likely had some basis in history and decided to try to recreate one. She went to the Capital State University library and checked out several books on ancient love potions. After carefully reviewing the texts, Claudia believed that she could recreate a medieval love potion since the climates were similar so the ingredients could probably be found in the woods she owned behind her home. After taking careful notes, she explored the woods and found the items she needed including beetle wings, worms, honey, and henbane. Claudia carefully followed the instructions from the books with one exception. In one book, the instructions said to include 10 ounces of henbane, and in another book, it said to render the henbane into a concentrate and then include only 1 once. Claudia mixed up the instructions, rendered the henbane into a concentrate, and then included 10 ounces. After brewing the love potion, she gave it to Alfred. The next night, Alfred broke into the mayor’s house while Luke was away and sneaked into Courtney’s room. He woke her up, professed his love, and drank the potion. Unfortunately, henbane, also known as nightshade, is deadly when consumed in too great quantities and Claudia’s brew contained 10 times the safe amount, so after drinking the potion, Alfred died on the spot. The State Board of Pharmacology declined to exercise jurisdiction over the matter because henbane is not a controlled substance in this state and referred the issue to the local District Attorney. What criminal liability, if any, does Claudia have for Alfred’s death?
