1) A sets up with B a fraudulent scheme at a county fair by setting up a booth and defrauds a number of people who approach the booth. Another person, C, who notices this action sends a hated teacher of C’s to the booth in order to be defrauded. Also, a fourth person, D, merely sent another over to the booth and that person was defrauded for $50. The call of the question stated the four A, B, C, D and what each is liable for.
2) Is D liable for fraud due to his sending a person over to the booth, even though he didn’t know of the scheme?
a. Accessory after the fact for C, because he had the intent and knew about the scheme.
b. No accessory after the fact for D ( was a two part question)
3) Julia is staying in a hotel as a guest. A ‘federal’ police officer determines that she is alleged to have participated in a bank robbery two weeks prior. Without a warrant and without ‘required probable cause’ the officer uses the master key from the manager of the Hotel to enter Julia’s room, where he finds nothing except a diary on the bed, which Officer reads and learns that it was in fact, according to the diary, Julia who committed the crime. Question is whether this diary is admissible, or maybe whether her arrest based on the contents of the diary is permissible.

As for the coat question, I recall that the boyfriend had given her a note that said “look in the closet for your gift.” Which she did not read, thus the gift had not been “accepted” at the time she solicited her friend to steal the coat (i.e. it was still the boyfriend’s coat). However, the freind actually took the coat, thus the solicitation merged with the actual crime of larceny. Therefore, she was guilty of conspiracy and larceny (at least that was my reasoning) On the other hand, was the note a constructive delivery with acceptance presumed? In that case it was her coat, and she could not be guilty of stealing her own coat? but as you may recall there was no answer choice that said she was guilty of no crime. Confused the hell out of me, like most the the questions on the afternoon exam.

One question: Can you actually conspire to steal your own coat?

Congrats on surviving… because we all know that the bar is not-so-much a competence exam as it is a hazing ritual.

Yay, it’s over!

I passed anyway. Good times.
