in order to prove a person committed a crime, a prosecutor must prove mens rea, actus reus, concurrence and proximate cause. As you can imagine, unless a person confesses it is very difficult to prove mens rea. Absent a confession, attorneys look for clues to prove mens rea. These clues are usually referred to as circumstantial evidence. You look at the person’s conduct to infer what was the intent. In addition, as stated in chapter 3, all of the elements must be present for someone to be convicted of a crime. If any of the elements are missing, then a crime has not been committed, unless the conduct constitutes a strict liability crime. In the following scenarios, what factors would you use to support that the person had the intent to commit the crime? What was the criminal act? What was the proximate cause to the harm/injury? I want you to focus on identifying the different elements and the facts that support the element.1) Sally lost her temper while at a restaurant because she believed she was billed incorrectly. While arguing with the waiter, she slams her chair into the table and is waving her hand in the waiter’s face. Micheal and his 2 year old son are trying to get by Sally because Michael’s son has to go to the bathroom. They bump into Sally which causes Sally to slap the waiter. The applicable assault statute: A person commits assault if they intentionally hit another person. Did Sally commit assault? Defend your answer.2) Mary was meeting Carla at the mall. Mary decides to go to the Apple Store to browse because she is thinking of getting an Ipad. She has an iPad in her hand when Carla enters the store, sees Mary, puts her arm around her and pushes her out the store because they are going to be late for the movie. Mary still had the ipad in hand. The applicable statute reads: A person committed theft if they had the intent to take another person’s property without permission. Did Mary steal the Ipad? Defend your answer.3) Beth was on her way home on the train. She was sitting next to a woman who was sleeping. The woman’s purse was partially open and an amount of cash was visible on top of the purse. When Beth reaches her stop, she takes the money as she gets up from the seat and places the money in her pocket. She exits the train and goes home. The applicable robbery statute reads: A person committed robbery if they intentionally take another person’s property from the person by force or displaying a weapon. Did Beth commit robbery? Defend your answer.

Read the Case Study entitled The Case of the Pharmaceutical Joint Venture in Chapter 4 and then answer the question at the end of the case. Please be sure to back up your answer to the case with facts from the textbook.Mr. Geddy Teok, an American-Chinese (second generation) employee of a large New Jersey pharmaceutical firm, was based in Tokyo. His main aim was to get a major join venture going with one of the largest Japanese pharmaceutical manufactures. After four year of negotiating, the supreme moment had come for signing contracts. Obviously the lawyers from HQ in New Jersey were well prepared, and they sent the contract to Geddy one week before the “ceremony.”After four year of Japanese experience, Geddy was dumbfounded when he received the document form the US. He told us at the time, “I could not even count the number of pages. There were just too many. But I remember the number of inches it measured when I laid it on the table. I would guess that with every inch, one of the Japanese would leave the room in despair. I hope they will come with a group of then; then at least I will keep one person to talk to. The Japanese will sign contract, but you should not take it too far.”Geddy Teok decided to call HQ and ask for some help. The legal department said that the relationship was so complex that the contract needed to cover many possible instances. Moreover, a consultancy firm that regularly advised the department said that Asians in general and Japanese in particular had a reputation of been loose in defining what was developed by them and what came from the US: “It is better to have some pain now and be clear in the terms of our relationship, than to run into problems later because of miscommunication. If they sign it, at least they show they are serious.”Geddy was in despair, but he had only a day to decide what to do. The meeting was tomorrow. Should he perhaps call the Japanese CEO, with whom he had built a solid relationship? Or should he just go for it? Geddy framed his dilemma clearly to us: “Whatever I do, it would hurt my career. If I insist on the Japanese partners signing the contract, they will see it as proof of how little trust has been developed over the years of negotiation. This might mean a postponement of the discussions and, in the worst case, the end of the deal. If I reduce the contract to a couple of pages and present it as a “letter of intent,” HQ in general and, even worse, the whole legal department will jump on me, jeopardizing my career.”If you were Geddy, what would you do?Again, be sure to back up your answer to the case with facts from the textbook (please use APA format).
