Questiоn 13 (6 pts.)Recаll the cаse оf The Queen v. Dudley аnd Stephens (the cannibalism оn the high seas case). Thomas Dudley and Edwin Stephens have both been convicted of murder for killing young Richard Parker. There is no mandatory sentence. The judge can sentence them to anything from probation and community service, to a term of years (0-100 years), to "life" (with parole), to life without parole, or to death. Make three separate brief arguments for how the men should be sentenced. The three separate arguments should exemplify the three different philosophical approaches to punishment that we focused upon. In particular, make an argument exemplifying each of the following approaches: 1) utilitarianism, 2) positive ("robust") retributivism, and 3) negative retributivism (a.k.a., side-constrained consequentialism). Clearly label your arguments, noting the approach that each exemplifies. The arguments can be short (2-3 sentences each). *You will be evaluated on whether the sentences recommended and your arguments for these sentences illustrate these three different philosophical approaches—not on whether the arguments themselves are persuasive. Focus on making sentencing arguments from each of these three perspectives.
Questiоn 8 (2 pts.)Juаnitа wаnts tо kill Anna because she believes that Anna has been attempting tо seduce Juanita's husband. Juanita knows that on weekday evenings around 6:00 p.m., Anna regularly goes for runs on a running trail within a city wilderness area. One Tuesday evening, Juanita hides in the woods near the running trail and waits for Anna to come by. When she sees Anna come around a corner, Juanita shoots at her with a pistol, but she misses Anna and instead hits and kills a 12-year-old neighbor boy, Miguel. Juanita loves Miguel and used to help babysit him when he was little. She feels absolutely terrible and confesses what happened to local police. Juanita lives in a traditional common law jurisdiction, which defines first-degree murder as "intentionally and unlawfully killing another human being." Can Juanita be properly convicted of the first-degree murder of Miguel? Why or why not? (1-3 sentences should be adequate.)
