Negligent Homicide Case Paper
1) X is guilty of negligent homicide. According to the Model Penal Code 2.02 (d), “A person acts negligently with respect to a material element of an offense when he should aware of a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the material element exists or will result from his conduct”. Therefore, this is a negligent homicide because X BELIEVES that X can heal the sick by killing them. X did not killed Y by knowing that Y cannot be brought back to life. X have a lack of awareness since X has never actually performed spiritual healing before. If X previously has failed to bring a sick cult back to life, it would be relevant to my answer, in this case X would have an awareness that spiritual healing cannot bring a suck cult back to life.
