Week 4 Assignment Questions
Applicable cases are located in Case Resources.
Threats to bomb a school or public building are damaging, even if the threat is a hoax. As a result, most states make it a crime to make a bomb threat against a public place or building, even if the person making the threat does not intend to carry out the threat. The mens rea requirement under these statutes is typically “knowingly” making the threat with the intent to cause alarm. Does a call from an inmate at a mental institution to a 911 operator stating bombs have been hidden at an airport violate this statute? See State v. Ballew, 272 P.3d 925 (Wash. App. 2012).
What must a defendant do to constitute illegally “bringing” an alien into the United States? Is it enough to give the illegal alien fraudulent documents that are used to get through passport checks? What did the court in United States v. Garcia-Paulin, 627 F.3d 127 (5th Cir. 2010) say was required?
Complete your answers using the assignment template and then upload your work for grading. Submit your work as a file attachment. This means you complete all work in a word processing document (e.g., Microsoft Word). The template is a Microsoft Word doc. Only work submitted in document form will be graded. Nothing typed in the textbox will be graded. This assignment is worth 10 points.
