This is perhaps the best chapter I have read in this whole book. Mostly because of all the examples they give in it. I like how in order to prove a crime you have to go through such a long process. There has to be physical element such as someone stabbing another person. A mental element such as someone wanting to stab a person. Concurrence which means the thought of stabbing someone led to the actually act of stabbing someone. Cause the act of stabbing someone was actually the cause of the persons death. Finally result which is the dead body of the person that got stabbed. The process being this through makes it so that the person that actually committed the crime is guilty or not.
I also found the specific crimes section of this chapter extremely amusing. Such as how some one can be charged with an incomplete crime. I believe this is ridiculous because if someone doesn't commit a crime why should they be charged. If someone is about to shatter a window with a hammer to steal something and has a change of heart and stops don't they have the right to not be arrested. I do believe that conspiracy should be a crime as long as the plans to do the crime are extremely detailed. They should at least have times and dates of the crimes they are going to commit because just saying your going to do a crime shouldn't count as conspiracy.

I am going through everyone's blog site again and looking for whether chapters 5 & 6 are completed. If not, then the student will earn a zero for that missing post. You do not have chapter 6. Therefore, you have earned a zero for that post.
I graded this chapter. Where's the external link? Also, you could have elaborated on your learning a little bit more.
