[Solved] Criminal Law Multiple Choice

Criminal Law Multiple Choice

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Ted and Daniel are at a restaurant. Mitch approaches from behind and, thinking Ted is someone else, he playfully reaches out to smack Ted lightly on the shoulder. Ted has Mitch arrested for battery. On these facts, Mitch will likely be:

 

  1. Convicted, because he intentionally slapped Ted, an offensive touching.
  2. Convicted, because there is an eyewitness and battery is a strict liability offense.
  3. Acquitted, because Mitch`s mistake as to Ted`s identity negates the mens rea.
  4. Acquitted, because the slap was not serious enough to cause pain.

 

2.  Avery, Hewlett, and Packard are bankers who have developed a plan for early retirement. Avery has designed a computer program that moves small amounts of money, undetectable as individual transactions, into a secret account that will aggregate over time into a hefty nest egg. Hewlett installed the program in a low-profile corner of the mainframe. Packard set up the secret account. They meet to check the account periodically, although they have not yet built up enough of a balance to bother making a withdrawal. Mac, a co worker, gets wind of the plan and threatens to expose the group. Hewlett pulls Mac into a secluded storeroom and says, "You`d better be careful, or you`re gonna get it."

When Packard gets wind of the threat, he decides he is getting in over his head. He closes the account and goes to the police. At the station, he sits down with an inspector who questions him as he tells the whole story. Meanwhile, Avery secretly removes an office computer from a storage room and takes it home so that he can better monitor the progress of his program, intending to return it when the job is done. When he uses it and realizes how fast it is, he decides to keep it. As Hewlett is leaving work, he punches Mac in the face without warning and says "Just a reminder." Avery, Hewlett, and Packard are arrested later that evening.

Charged with assault of Mac, Hewlett will likely be:

 

  1. Convicted, because Mac had apprehension of harm.
  2. Convicted, because threatened deadly force.
  3. Acquitted, because the threat of harm was not immediate.
  4. Acquitted, because Mac did not believe the threat to be serious.

 

3.  Gerald tells Nancy that he is planning to confront Dan, a known gang member, and “beat him senseless.” Nancy, whose sister was attacked by a member of the same gang, thinks that this is a great idea and tells Gerald the name of a park, which she knows Dan frequents. When Gerald gets there, he assaults Dan in front of Barry. Barry watches the entire attack, smiling, but does nothing to stop it. Barry is charged with assault on a theory of accomplice liability. His best defense to that charge is:

 

  1. He was too frightened to act in Dan’s defense.
  2. He did not take any action to assist Gerald.
  3. He owned no legal duty to rescue Dan.
  4. He did not have criminal intent.

 

4.  Jack was a jokester. One day he decided to play a practical joke for April fool’s day. He dressed up with a hat and a mask and went into work intending to play a joke on his boss. He entered his boss’ office. His boss was on the phone with his back to Jack. Jack yelled this was a stick up and shot from his toy cap gun.

  1. Yes, because even if Mauricio did not intend to hit the person injured, he did intend to hit another person.

McGee then had sexual intercourse with Alice without any voiced objection by Alice.

In most jurisdictions, can McGee be convicted of the crime of rape?

 

  1. No, because McGee did not use physical force.
  2. No, because Alice did not expressly object to the sexual act.
