Christopher is a terrorist. He wants to blow up a bank in order to make a political statement about the impact of “overblown capitalism.” He does not actually want people to die, but he realizes people will almost certainly die if he blows the bank up during a work day. But he thinks it is worth the loss of lives to make a big statement. If he tries to set off a bomb at a bank at 10:30 a.m. on a Tuesday, but the bomb doesn’t go off, is Christopher guilty of attempted murder under the Model Penal Code? (See MPC § 5.01.)

Michael has been convicted of the homicide of “felony child abuse resulting in death.” The evidence presented at trial establishes that on May 2, 2024, while Michael was at work, his three-year-old son, Camden, fell down a set of stairs, resulting in a large bruise on the front of his head. The evidence also establishes that on May 3, 2024, Michael lost his temper with Camden and shoved him hard from behind, causing Camden to fall and again hit the front of his head. Camden died of a brain bleed on May 4, 2024. At trial, the medical examiner testified that either incident could have caused the brain bleed resulting in Camden’s death or that the combined effect of the two incidents could have caused the brain bleed, but that it was impossible to state, to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, which event(s) caused Camden’s brain bleed. *Michael asserts on appeal that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction for “felony child abuse resulting in death.” How should the appellate court rule and why? (Assume that shoving Camden and thereby causing him to hit his head constitutes “felony child abuse.”) (2-3 sentences)
