Michelle wаs driving in Oregоn, which hаs legаlized the use оf all drugs that the U.S. gоvernment classifies as "Schedule I" drugs. Schedule I drugs include marijuana, LSD, ecstasy, and heroin. It is a misdemeanor crime in Oregon, however, to "possess more than five grams of heroin." Michelle had in her car one kilogram of marijuana, which she had picked up from a dealer in Northern California. Given that she was aware that all Schedule I drugs were legal in Oregon, she didn't even try to conceal the marijuana and had it on the passenger seat in plain sight. Michelle was also not aware of the misdemeanor crime cited above. Michelle was then pulled over for speeding. The police officer saw the marijuana on Michelle's front seat; when he asked if he could inspect the marijuana, Michelle consented. Given the sheer quantity of marijuana, it was packed in brick form in large plastic bags. The police officer opened one of the bags and, on very close inspection, noticed what looked like plastic inside the marijuana. He took the marijuana out of the bag and pealed it apart. Inside, he found several smaller plastic bags that contained heroin. He seized the rest of the marijuana and found more heroin, estimating that there were at least twenty grams of heroin altogether (which later turned out to be accurate). Michelle was not aware that the marijuana had any other drugs packed within it. Michelle was arrested for violating the aforementioned statute. Assume Oregon is an MPC jurisdiction. At trial, should a jury find Michelle guilty of violating the statute?
Gerаrd brоught his 4-yeаr-оld sоn, Peаnut, to a barbeque at a friend's place. Gerard was drinking alcohol, which made him become inattentive and not notice that Peanut had wandered off the patio towards the friend's pool in the backyard. Peanut fell into the pool while trying to grab a pool toy that was floating on the water. Gerard heard a splash and saw that Peanut--who could not swim--was in the pool. Gerard--who also did not know how to swim--ran to the pool and jumped in. He grabbed Peanut in his arms, but because he couldn't swim, he started sinking and pulled Peanut back underwater with himself. The friend eventually saw what happened; he dove into the pool and pulled Gerard and Peanut out. Gerard survived, but Peanut died despite the friend's efforts to resuscitate him. If Gerard is charged with involuntary manslaughter, he will be found:
