Day 23 is review (will not be posted on blackboard) april 4. Impossible attempts: 3 different sets of opinions on how to evaluate strange cases of attempted crimes. Henchard: for there to be an attempted crime there has to be a law against that crime. 2) did the defendant create and unreasonable risk of the crime being committed. These 2 questions must be yes for both in order for there to be a criminal attempt. If you told them that this wouldn"t succeed and they change thoughts, then. Henchard would agree with farfrae and hardy that the first question is valid. Is there an attempt to do something that is recognized as criminal. But key difference between henchard vs. farfrae and hardy is the 2nd question.
