1 1. Muffy wanted to make some money, so she decided to sell cocaine. She asked Chip, who was reputed to have access to illegal drugs, to supply her with cocaine so she could resell it. Chip agreed and sold Muffy a bag of white powder. Muffy repackaged the white powder into smaller containers and sold one to Carol, an undercover police officer, who promptly arrested Muffy. Muffy immediately confessed and said that Chip was her supplier. Upon examination, the white powder turned out not to be cocaine or any type of illegal substance. If Chip knew the white powder was not cocaine but Muffy believed it was, which of the following is correct?

2 A. Both Chip and Muffy are guilty of attempting to sell cocaine.

3 B. Neither Chip nor Muffy is guilty of attempting to sell cocaine.

4 C. Chip is guilty of attempting to sell cocaine, but Muffy is not.

5 D. Chip is not guilty of attempting to sell cocaine, but Muffy is.

6 2. After being fired from his job, Chip drank almost a quart of vodka and decided to ride the bus home. While on the bus, he saw a briefcase he mistakenly thought was his own, and began struggling with the passenger carrying the briefcase. Chip knocked the passenger to the floor, took the briefcase, and fled. Police arrested Chip and charged him with robbery. Chip should be

7 A. acquitted, because he used no threats and was intoxicated.

8 B. acquitted, because his mistake negated the required specific intent.

9 C. convicted, because his intoxication was voluntary.

10 D. convicted, because mistake is no defense to robbery.

11 3. Chip lived on the second floor of a small convenience store/gas station that he owned. One night he refused to sell Biff a six-pack of beer after hours, saying he could not violate the state laws. Biff became enraged and deliberately drove his car into one of the gasoline pumps, severing it from its base. There was an explosion, causing a ball of fire to go from the underground gasoline tank into the building. As a result, the building burned to the ground, and Chip died. If Biff faces charges of murder and arson, he is

12 A. guilty of both offenses.

13 B. guilty of murder and not guilty of arson.

14 C. guilty of arson and not guilty of murder.

15 D. not guilty of either offense.
