Chapter 14 Discussion
After reading Chapter 14, imagine the following hypothetical scenario. Jane owns a small grocery business, and the business is not doing well financially. Jane cannot afford to pay her employees, cannot take a salary herself, and owes vendors money. Jane has a $1 million insurance policy on her business and instead of shutting down and/or claiming bankruptcy, Jane purposely lights her business on fire in order to collect the insurance money. The fire department responds to the fire, and in the process of extinguishing the fire, a fireman falls through the roof and dies.
Based upon what you learned in Chapter 14 about causation, as well as what you learned in this chapter and previous chapters about mens rea and actus reus, discuss whether or not you believe Jane should be charged for the death of the fireman. Why or why not? BE SURE TO REFERENCE the topics discussed, for example, “But-for” Jane not having set fire to the business, would the fireman have died.
