People v. Roberts case brief

 
  • People v Roberts- the ∆ was convicted of murder when he supplied poison to his dying wife. He placed the poison by her bedside and she drank it. ∆ pled guilty and the ct held 1st degree premeditated murder.
    • Is this similar to Kevorkian?
      • Ct distinguishes it from 2 kinds of cases: Roberts and Sexson (Final act v Preparatory act distinction)
        • The court overrules Roberts b/c it ∆ only participates in the preparatory acts as opposed to the final act.
