Criminal Law Simons, Volume III
Commonwealth v. McCloskey
As you read McCloskey, consider these questions:
1. In the actus reus hypo from Class #25, if Donna is guilty of attempted murder at some point, is she still guilty of attempted murder at stage 11? Does she have a defense?
2. Would Donna have a defense under the MPC? Under the NYPL? (Look at NYPL § 40.10).
