State v. Rose
The facts of State v. Rose read as if they were taken from a criminal law exam, which makes it a fitting case to conclude our examination of the general part of the criminal law. As you read Rose, consider the following questions:
1. Henry Rose was charged with two crimes. What were they? What are the elements of those crimes? Did he have the requisite mental state for each crime? Did he engage in the requisite act for each crime
2. Was Rose an actual cause of McEnery’s death? Was he a proximate cause?
3. Why did the appellate court reverse his conviction?
