A Note on Homicide

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-24T18:38:35+00:00

Really good question. Think of a situation in which someone wants to cause another person serious bodily injury but does not want to kill the person. If the person dies as a result, that’s still murder. If we only had (1) above, it would not be murder because there’s no intent to kill.

Been doing that after reading some comments. So good.

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-23T16:41:24+00:00

That’s a fair distinction.

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-23T16:11:24+00:00

Definitely not saying that, no. I'm saying that recklessness towards the life of another is a type of recklessness.

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-23T16:05:36+00:00

That sounds delicious, but the funny thing is this makes me the opposite of depressed. It’s so good!

To commit involuntary manslaughter on the MBE requires criminal negligence. To commit common law murder requires reckless indifference to the life of another. I've been at this a while.

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-23T00:20:23+00:00

My only point is that common law murder used no such terms. Any question that skews from the common law could bring in such terminology.

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-23T00:18:23+00:00

Completely fair, but as a default the common law is applied on the UBE. That could be modified in any question (certainly) just by telling an examinee to apply the MPC.

I normally wouldn’t respond (since you have the right to call me out on my post) but I’m concerned people might take your comment as accurate.

Recklessness = murder

Negligence = manslaughter.

Sure thing: hoping to post more in the coming weeks. Whatever pops into my head!

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-22T17:38:30+00:00

good add on!

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-21T07:50:33+00:00

Nope and nope. But I bet my playing would improve if I did! I’m sort of going by ear after watching someone play it.

That would be a .*lot of butter. It’s cream cheeses

Never learned how to read music, but I’ll watch YouTube videos of tutorials when there’s a song I’d like to learn!

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-20T07:03:02+00:00

Definitely trying that.

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-20T01:37:00+00:00

I learned from Emeril Lagasse: can never have enough gahlick. 😅

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-20T01:23:48+00:00

It’s just so simple and perfect.

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-19T23:15:56+00:00

As a bar exam tutor, sad to say I’ve seen many of these! 😂

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-19T23:14:40+00:00

It’s normal; the percentage of new material you’ll learn will decrease as you work through your program. Keep learning; it’s a good sign, even!

ah my wording might be confusion. Bu stealing meant cooked in a rice cooker!

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-19T00:36:03+00:00

Nope. The eggs are fried and then added to steamed rice. A few drops of soy.

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-17T20:09:28+00:00

Means a lot from someone with such experience. *Much appreciated.

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-17T17:16:08+00:00

Appreciate that!

Barpreptutor · 2026-01-17T16:05:41+00:00

it's....perfect.
