Dave suggested to Fred that they rob a bank. Fred agreed and said that he would go along with Dave when he tries to rob the bank. Unbeknownst to Dave, Fred did not actually want to rob the bank. Rather, he was a member of a terrorist group who wanted to explode a hand grenade in a public place as an act of terror. When Dave asked him to participate in the bank robbery, Fred saw an opportunity to fulfill his goal while having Dave along as an unwitting armed backup. The next day, Dave and Fred approached the bank carrying handguns. Fred also had a hand grenade in his jacket pocket that Dave did not know about. Just as they walked in the bank’s front door with their guns drawn, to Dave’s astonishment, Fred removed the grenade from his pocket, pulled the pin, and threw the grenade into the bank. Both Dave and Fred immediately ran out of the bank. The explosion from the grenade damaged the bank, but did not hurt anyone. Which of the following is the most accurate statement about Dave’s criminal liability for Fred’s use of the grenade to damage the bank in a majority of U.S. jurisdictions (i.e., those that still follow the common law with respect to the scope of conspiracies)?

Because Lisa was late for an appointment across town, she was speeding, weaving in-and-out of traffic, and tailgating.  While driving, Lisa ran a red light.  There were a number of people crossing the street at the time and Lisa hit one of them.  The person she hit was seriously injured and was rushed to the hospital.  Because the victim did not die, Lisa was arrested and charged with reckless driving and attempted murder.  The most complete statement of the proper outcome of her prosecution is:

Alfred, Ben, and Charles are all students at New Calivada University.  As Lacrosse teammates and housemates, they spend a lot of time together, including trying to schedule their classes together.  They all decided to take a chemistry course together to satisfy their natural science requirement for graduation.  It was a decision they lived to regret; they disliked the class very much.  One evening as they were sitting around their place, the three guys talked about how they should cause a small accident in a lab to get out of having to spend the entire four hours in lab session—something that cause some smoke to fill the lab and cause an evacuation. The next day, Charles asked Alfred (who were lab partners), to mix some chemicals he thought would cause some bubbling and smoke.  Alfred agreed and proceeded to prepare the mixture.  Ben was watching Charles and Alfred, as they were proceeding with their plan to cause a commotion.  When Ben saw the chemicals that Alfred was mixing, he yelled, “No!”  Ben, being the only one doing well in the course, realized the mixture would cause an explosion.  But as Ben yelled to Charles and Alfred to stop, the concoction exploded.  The lab was badly damaged; glass that went flying everywhere when the explosion occurred. Worse yet, two students in the class were killed by the blast.  Assume that the jurisdiction follows the Model Penal Code approach to all inchoate offenses.  Further assume that the jurisdiction in which this occurred has the following statutes in its penal code: Whoever purposefully, knowingly, or recklessly engages in conduct that damages or destroys the property of another person or entity is guilty of criminal mischief. Whoever maliciously causes a fire or explosion that damages a building, structure, or any component thereof is guilty of arson. Whoever engaged in reckless conduct that unintentionally causes the death of another human being is guilty of involuntary manslaughter. First, discuss what inchoate offenses did Alfred, Ben, and Charles committed under the Model Penal Code.  Of which of these crimes may they be properly convicted and why?  Explain your answer carefully, including an analysis of the elements of the crimes and any defenses that may be applicable to the perpetrators.     Second, which, if any, of the three statutory offenses listed above did Alfred, Ben, and Charles commit? Explain your answer carefully, including the theoretical framework for liability, an analysis of the elements of the crimes you identify, and the applicability of any defenses that one or more of the perpetrators may be able to assert.   

Mickey Spillane intends to kill Mike Hammer. He pulls out his gun (which he believes to be a .357 Magnum), aims it at Hammer, and says, “Prepare to die!” A paper banner reading “bang” pops out and Mickey treats the whole incident as a practical joke, even though he wonders what actually happened to his gun. In a common law jurisdiction, is Mickey guilty of attempted murder?
