Jessie аge 19, burglаrized а hоuse with twо оf her friends, both of whom are in their early 20s. Jessie really did not want to commit the crime, but her buddies pressured her into it. In preparation for trial, Jessie’s lawyer sent him to Dr. Fred Della, a forensic psychiatrist, for a full evaluation. Dr. Della called Jessie’s lawyer and agreed to testify in favor of the defense since he concluded that Jessie did not entertain the required mens rea of purpose or knowledge. Dr. Della explained that while Jessie did not suffer from any mental illness, she is severely learning disabled. As a result of her learning disability, she has certain personality characteristics that made it unlikely that the required mens rea was actually entertained. Specifically, Jessie is naive, extremely suggestive, and in effect, is capable of being hoodwinked by the other people on the occasion involved. In fact, Dr. Della believes that is exactly what happened. Based upon this information, Jessie’s lawyer chooses to use the insanity defense. The Model Penal Code formulation of the insanity defense is in effect in the controlling jurisdiction. Presuming that Jessie’s learning disability were a bona-fide mental disease or defect sufficient to qualify for invoking the defense of diminished capacity, the defense would most likely:
Kris mаrried Rоchelle. Shоrtly аfter they аwоke one morning, Rochelle berated Kris about spending too much of his paycheck on alcohol and gambling. Kris lost his temper and slapped Rochelle several times. He then went off to work. After work, Kris visited a local tavern, had a few drinks, and then took a bus to the local dog racing track. He owed Frank “the Tank” Dello, a local loan shark, $800 which was overdue. Kris had hoped to win enough money at the track to pay off the debt to Frank. After the first four races, however, Kris had lost all the money he had taken with him, except for enough to pay for the bus ride home. When Kris got off the bus, Anthony, Frank the Tank’s enforcer, was waiting for him. Kris told Anthony: “I just lost all my cash at the dog track, but I’ve got $500 in the sugar bowl at my house. It’s only a block away.” Anthony replied, “Okay, but this better not be a trick, or else you’ll be a dead man.” Kris walked quickly to his house while Anthony followed in his car. Kris climbed the porch steps as Anthony waited in the car. Kris pounded on the door. Rochelle, however, still angry about having been slapped by Kris that morning, refused to let Kris in the house. Kris became more and more desperate and told her, “Look, there’s someone in that car who is going to shoot me if I don’t give him the money in the sugar bowl. If you don’t want to open the door, fine; just slip the money through the mail slot so I can pay this guy. Or else call the police before I get killed!” Through the window, Rochelle saw Anthony in the car and, knowing about her husband’s debts, assumed that he was telling the truth. Nevertheless, she told Kris, “You can go to hell for all I care.” She then pulled the shade down and closed the curtains. Kris kept yelling, “Please, please . . . let me in or I’ll be killed!” Rochelle continued to ignore his pleas. Kris, in desperation, took off and ran down the street. Anthony, however, pursued Kris in his car and eventually drove the car onto the sidewalk. He ran over Kris, killing him instantly. Can Rochelle be properly convicted of any homicide charge involving the death of her husband?
