Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A criminal homicide must be the direct and proximate result of the criminal act, whether that is an overt act, act of omission or criminal negligence. Proximate cause is said to occur when the result of the act is reasonably foreseeable at the time the act is committed, even though the precise harm does not need to have been anticipated. Explore with students examples of criminal acts with intervening causes, such as medical negligence, which may not cut off the chain of causation, and supervening causes, such as outside forces that cause the death and would break the chain of causation to hold the actor liable for criminal homicide. (Note: This would not preclude prosecution on other lesser offenses if the elements were present.)
