15. Assume you are Tony's defense attorney. Argue why Tony's killing of



Bernardo was heat-of-passion voluntary manslaughter instead of murder.



16. Assume you are the District Attorney. Argue how Tony can be vicariously



liable (that is as an aider and abettor) of Riff’s death.



17. Assume you are Ice's attorney. Argue why Ice should not be held vicariously



liable for Bernardo's death.



18. Using the same facts as above, assume that Bernardo survived and is charged



with the murder of Riff. Explain how Bernardo could be guilty of murder even



if he only intended to hurt Riff by slicing him with an “S,” and not kill him.



19. Assume after the fight, but before being arrested, Tony runs to the corner store



owned by Doc. Doc is Tony’s friend. Tony tells Doc what happened. Doc then



allows Tony stay in the store and Doc also gives Tony some money so Tony



can get a bus out of town the next morning. What, if any, crime is Doc guilty



of? Explain.



20. Assume that at the autopsy of Riff the Medical Examiner (coroner) concludes



that the cause of death was exsanguination (bleeding to death) as a result of



the stab wound inflicted by Bernardo. The Medical Examiner, however, also



discovers that Riff had a brain aneurism. The Medical Examiner concludes,



“Riff was going to die from the brain aneurism within a few minutes, even if he had not been stabbed by Bernardo.” Explain why this does, or does not,



make any difference.
