On the other hand, a very strong case for self-defence could be made because these thieves were trespassing at night with the intention to seriously injure or kill the owner of the property and perhaps even Morgiana. If she was convicted fully, she would almost certainly receive 25 years to life in prison with no opportunity for bail. If her defence was accepted fully or partially, she may receive a maximum of 5 to 10 years in prison, but it is very doubtful that she would be found innocent because of her self-defence plea considering the number of thieves she killed. Her final charge is 1st Degree Murder, a Section 229 violation.

Adams wrote to John Adams weeks before the Declaration of Independence that they should not ignore women and they could hold a rebellion in the case that they are given no rights and representation - similar to that of why the American Revolution was fought against Britain. Adams detested the idea that married women had to give away their rights to their husbands - single women could own property but she could not. She secretly set aside some of her husband’s property as her own - and slowly saved her “pocket money” to be $5,000 ($100,000 today). Wrote a will in 1816 when she realized she was dying (even though she legally could not own property) - apart from her two sons, everyone who she gave her money to were women.

Despite the Magistrate judge taking into account Murphy’s own personal circumstances and being aware that the crime was a likely culmination of the defendant’s depression, the sentence could not be reduced from a sentence of 5 years jail with a non-parole period of 18 months because of the successive offences over such a prolonged period. Varying by case, money crimes may be considered criminal or civil offences. Murphy admitted to being guilty of 495 counts of criminal money embezzlement. She presented documents to be looked over before changing the details and thus, stealing money from the company.

Larceny is simply another word for theft. According to Schmalleger & Hall (2014), larceny is defined as “the trespassing or wrongful taking and carrying away (asportation) of the personal property of another with intent to steal (p. 269). The four elements of larceny go as followed: trespassory taking, and carrying away, of the personal property of another, with intent to steal. Trespassory taking involves a person taking property not belonging to them without the permission of the actual owner(s). The next element of larceny is carrying away, which entails that the items stolen have been physically moved away from where they belong by the criminal in question.

Legally, neither “Becky” could be charged for a crime. One might bring up an objection saying they still can be charged with conspiracy, but that implies that two different people did the crime. So, if “Becky” was charged with conspiracy, then Becky would be two identities, containing the same physical make up. However, physicalism assumes they both would have the same identity. To drive this point even more, these “Becky” should not be under the law at all!

Burglary is defined in the state's Revised Statutes as breaking a building to commit a felony, in this case, stealing. Blackwood's unlawful entry into the Metropolitan Museum of Art and subsequent theft of "The Mona Lisa's Secret" satisfy the burglary criteria (Green, 2019). Theft charges would be justified for Blackwood's theft of the museum's precious artwork. The Revised Statutes define theft as the unauthorized seizure or exercise of control over someone else's property to deprive the owner permanently. Blackwood's removal of the picture without the museum's permission qualifies as theft.

E CRIMINAL LIABILITY 3.0 INTRODUCTION A corporation is not a natural person and only acts through its officers; if what the officers did is criminal in nature, then only the corporation is liable to be prosecuted. Corporations, as legal persons, gain many benefits similar to natural persons but they continue to be able to hide behind complex corporate structures to evade the liability of natural persons under the criminal law. Corporations continue to cause severe injury to individuals, groups and the natural environment through their actions. Their ability to abuse power and evade criminal liability reveals their current privileged position in comparison to individuals.
