| C/L Mistake of Specific Intent Crime | Honest and negate the SI portion of the crime |
| C/L Mistake of GI Crime | Honest and reasonable. Not a crime as D believed them to be. Grading mistakes don't matter. |
| MPC Mistake | If it negated the MR requirements |
| Mistake of Criminal Law. Does MPC and C/L treat differently? | MPC- it's the same as Mistake of Fact. C/L- it's only a defense for SI crimes; NOT a defense for GI crimes. |

| C/L Intoxication for SI crime? | 3 Rules 1) Lack of capacity 2)Restrictive 3) Logical Relevance |
| MPC Intoxicaton | P or K crimes= logical relevance. No Def for R or N crimes |
| MPC Intoxication for R or N crimes | not much of a defense. either it was not self induce or it was pathological (took dayquill and didn't know it would do what it did to D) |
| MPC and C/L logical relevance for intoxication | If you were so intoxicated you didn't have the MR then a D. The burden of proof is on the D to show level of intoxication. Only for SI crimes in C/L or P/K in MPC |
| Can some elements of a crime have a MR and some be S/L? | yes |
| Does MPC have strict liability | for our purposes; No |
| S/L in C/L factors | Regulatory in nature, small severity of sentence, bad in and of itself (FM), or risk to other rights |
| C/L and MPC Actus Reus for attempt | C/L-3 tests MPC-substantial step strongly corroborates |
| C/L and MPC AR for conspiracy | C/L=bilateral agreement MPC=unilateral agreement+overt act |
| C/L adn MPC complicity | C/L=aids and abets MPC+P knowing OR providing successful aid=aids agrees to aid, attempts to aid (no need for P to know; no need to be successful) |
| MR for attempt (both) | C/L-MR for SI crime MPC=c-P, c-same and underlying crime, R-P |
| MR for conspiracy (both) | SI crime and stake in venture or K(+); MPC C-P, C-K, R-P |
| MR for complicity (both) | SI crime and stake in venture or K(+); MPC c-P, C-K, R- same as underlying crime |
| For Attempt, Conspiracy, and Complicity do you need the collateral purpose? | Yes |

| Renunciation for attempt | C/L-none ; MPC abandon effort or otherwise prevent |
| Is renunciation a defense or is withdrawel a defesne | renunciation is a defense |
| Renunciation of conspiracy | C/L-none; MPC-thwart success AND completely renounce |
| Renunciation of complicity in C/L | C/L- tell others+render all aid ineffective by undoing what you did to become an accomplice |
| Renunciation of complicity in MPC | Terminate complicity+wholly deprive OR tell the cops OR other timeley efforts |
| Withdrawel for attempt/conspiracy/ or complicity? | Conspiracy. And it only makes sense to do it for C/L. |
| Withdrawel of conspiracy | C/L- tell others+timely (at least this stops Pinkerton Liability) MPC- advise co-conspirators or tell cops (this is your Defense for accoomplice, you have no defense against conspiracy unless you thwart the success. |

| C/L- Can you charge conspiracy, and co-conspirator of completed crime | yes (I think so) |
| C/L- Co-conspirator vs. accomplice | Co-Conspirator you need a unilateral agreement vs. Accomplics you need aid and abet; MR is the same but liability for other is greater b/c conspiracy has foressable crimes in furtherence |
| MPC- Difference in MR between Conspiracy and Complicity and Attmept | Conspiracy=P,K,P Complicity=P,K,underlying Attempt=P, underlying, P |
| C/L stake in the venture factors | 1)Seriousness of the crime; 2) % of business; 3) Are there other legitimate uses; 4) was it sold at market price? |
| What is Knowledge + | You must have knowledge of the crime and look like you wanted to bring about the result...not quite to the level of stake in the venture. |
| Is solicitation good enough to prove attempt? | Typically yes. |
| C/L- on a crime spree when can you be convicted of a crime you didn't have the MR for? | Durham rule; on a crime spree the natural and probable consquences of your aid. Used mainly when you know accomplice is armed and he kills someone...you should have perceived the risk and are guilty |
| Does MPC have any of the liability from the durham rule? | No. 1) did he aid or agree to aid. 2) did he have the MR for the crime...especially results |
| Can you be convicted as an accomplice is the principle is innocent due to MR? | yes |
