Question 1

Bart is a seventeen-year-old kid who lives in rural Springfield. Springfield has a statute that makes it a crime to "knowingly or recklessly engage in any unlawful activity that could result in the burning of any structure in a rural area". The statute defines "rural areas" as areas that are used primarily for farming. Bart lives next door to Moe's hops and barley farm. Having nothing to do one day, Bart goes to Crusty's fireworks store and buys a bunch of illegal bottle rockets. Bart brings the rockets home and begins setting them off in his backyard. One of the rockets flies out of control and lands in Moe's barn. The Barn, which is full of freshly harvested hops, ignites and burns to the ground.

Having nothing to do one day, Bart goes to Crusty's fireworks store and buys a bunch of illegal bottle rockets. Bart brings the rockets home and begins setting them off in his backyard. One of the rockets flies out of control and lands in front of Moe's barn. The Barn, which is full of freshly harvested hops, ignites and, soon, the entire first floor of the three story building is on fire. While the lower half of the barn is burning, a bolt of lightning strikes the barn igniting the roof as well. The barn soon burns to the ground. If Bart is charged with violating the statute, he will probably be:

The statute defines rural areas as areas that are used primarily for farming. After hiking to the edge of some corn fields, Kyle builds an illegal bonfire in a clearing so that he can barbecue. Five hundred feet away from Kyle, Stan builds a fire as well. Neither Kyle nor Stan take the necessary precautions to make sure their fires do not spread out of control. The fires, which are burning toward Cartman's farmhouse also burn toward each other and eventually join. The new big fire proceeds to burn Cartman's farmhouse to the ground. Each fire individually was big enough to destroy Cartman's property. If Kyle and Stan are charged with violating the statute, they will be:

Question 4

What Kyle and Stan do not know is that Mrs. Cartman has a serious heart condition and, due to the fright they have caused her, Mrs. Cartman has suffered a fatal heart attack. If Kyle and Stan are charged with Mrs. Cartman's death, they will probably be:
