Exercise: Review of the Schminkey Rule
Before we turn to mistake of fact, let's review the special Schminkey rule for how to prove the specific intent element. Below are some hypos we will review in class. Think about whether the facts establish merely the taking, or if there are additional facts to prove specific intent.
