We had a review session last night for one of my exams last semester. Yeah, it’s been over two months since we took the exams, but apparently the law moves slow and academics move slower.
Anyway, I thought I would share with you a mistake that I can only attribute to nerves since it was my very first exam in over 10 years out of school:
“Because John Doe did not die, Mr. Stabby is not guilty of murder.”
(Duh)
“However, he may be liable for murder under the deadly weapon doctrine.”
(Um, you know, if Doe had died.)
I actually laughed when I read that… apparently, so did my prof.
