This text outlines black letter principles in criminal law and includes a capsule summary of key concepts in the outline, short-answer questions adapted from the Law in a Flash flashcard deck (with mostly rewritten answers), exam tips, essay exam and multiple-choice questions and answers, and a casebook correlation chart. This edition incorporates the Supreme Court's new test for determining whether a defendant's developmental delays exempt him or her from the death penalty; recent cases limiting when life without parole may be used in non-homicide and homicide cases; lower court responses to the Supreme Court's life without parole decision in Graham, supra; more on the right to defend one's property, including the right to use deadly force in defense of one's habitation; a new section on when corporations can be held criminally liable for acts by their employees and the appropriate punishment when convicted; and more on actions and mental states that constitute “depraved heart” murder, including how the prosecution can prove the required mental state.
