@openargs answer is ‘b’. Common law assault requires victim to perceive the attempted battery, can’t do that while asleep. No touching req’d for assault, so ‘a’ not correct. C&D are just way off. #t3be
@openargs “D”. No burglary bc no intent to commit a larceny and/or felony at the time of entry. No larceny bc no intent to permanently deprive at time of asportation of the book. Decision to burn book came after asportation so no mens rea at the time #T3BE
1. One thing I often get asked, as a criminal defense attorney, or in response to my tweets (such as the one under this) is "what about the victims?" Well in the majority of our cases, there are no complainants (victims). Let me break it down for you.
Having been through US Army training scenarios in which we rolled up on an ongoing and escalating situation in which both the good guys and the bad guys had guns but weren’t wearing “Good Guy” or “Bad Guy” signs, I’m 100% positive arming teachers is the wrong answer.
