The following are examples on how to answer questions in which you are asked to determine if a crime occurred. NO OTHER FORMAT WILL BE ACCEPTABLE. You must apply all the elements of the crime. You must list/bullet point the elements and do NOT use a paragraph format. List the elements out individually as shown below.---**Example 1:** Jim went out to dinner one night. While enjoying his chicken parmigiana, he noticed, Lisa, his ex-wife, walk into the restaurant with another man, named Tom. Tom began to taunt Jim by kissing Lisa. This upset Jim. Jim walked up to Tom and Lisa and punched Tom in the face. Tom did not suffer any injuries. What crime did Jim commit, if any? Fully explain applying all of the elements.Jim committed the crime of Battery.- **Actus Reus:** Touching or applying force. Here, Jim met the Actus Reus by applying force when he punched Jim.- **Mens Rea:** Intent to Injure OR Intent to Touch Offensively. Here, Jim met the first type of intent for battery, the Intent to Injure, when he punched Tom in the face. This is shown because Jim was upset at Tom when he punched him and wanted to cause him injury. Therefore, the Mens Rea was met.- **Harm:** Bodily Injury or Offensive Touching. Tom did not suffer any injury, however, punching someone in the face is an Offensive Touching. Therefore, this element was met.Because all of the elements of Battery were met, Tom is guilty of Battery.---**Example 2:** Kevin was in financial trouble. He decided to burn his house to collect the insurance money. He poured gasoline on the shingles and lit them. The shingles lit on fire and most of his house burned down. What crime, if any, did Kevin commit. Fully explain applying all the elements.[Elements for Example 2 were not provided in the visible section.] **Example 2:** Kevin was in financial trouble. He decided to burn his house to collect the insurance money. He poured gasoline on the shingles and lit them. The shingles lit on fire and most of his house burned down. What crime, if any, did Kevin commit? Fully explain applying all the elements.Kevin did NOT commit Common Law Arson.**Actus Reus:** A Burning. The element of burning requires a charring. In this case, there was definitely a charring as most of the house burned down.**House/Dwelling:** This element was met because it was a house.**Of Another:** This element fails because Kevin burned his own house, not one of another.**Mens Rea:** Malicious and Willful Intent to Burn. Kevin met this element because it was his intent to burn the house when he poured the gas and lit the shingles on fire.Because the element “Of Another” was not met because Kevin burned his own house, he is not guilty of Common Law Arson.
