Isn't aggravated homicide killing a cop in the line of duty whereas Murder 1 is a homicide done with the intent to kill and one of the aggravating factors, e.g., murder for hire?

since i actually read the statute, nope.

http://law.onecle.com/new-york/penal/PEN0125.26_125.26.html

2. (a) With intent to cause the death of a person less than fourteen

years old, he or she causes the death of such person, and the defendant

acted in an especially cruel and wanton manner pursuant to a course of

conduct intended to inflict and inflicting torture upon the victim prior

to the victim's death. As used in this subdivision, "torture" means the

intentional and depraved infliction of extreme physical pain that is

separate and apart from the pain which otherwise would have been

associated with such cause of death; and

(b) The defendant was more than eighteen years old at the time of the

commission of the crime.

HTH.

the cool and wanton thing is kind of fuzzy to me but i guess it's just basically torture.

well-known pastor of established church pulls aside congregant and tells him that messiah is coming in 2 weeks and "god will reward those who were generous to their spiritual leaders--especially you if you give me $100 cash right now." congregant gives cash. pastor knew messiah not coming and no spiritual reward would be forthcoming.

what crime, if any?

fuck if I know, I'm just making this shit up after staring at the elements.

this was designed to be a false pretenses teaser that fails because technically the elements require that the false representation relate to some past or existing fact. "misrepresentation regarding future event is not sufficient." that doesn't really make sense to me and I don't see why it makes sense that this hypo is not false pretenses.

Obviously if you had the right evidence that the pastor did not believe there would be any such religious occurrence, you'd be fine. It can be rather difficult to procure, and courts are very wary about questioning the sincerity of religious tenets. You are right that they are more willing to do so in the context of fraud, though.

Me and Fish are hanging out in Harlem. Unbeknownst to Fish, I am an undercover NYPD agent. Without any input from him, I come up with a foolproof plan to steal a shitload of money--we're talkin' Biglaw money here--and induce him to commit the crime with me. Fish has a history of criminal activity like this. After some reluctance, he agrees. In preparation for the crime, he steals a gun from some local junkie and meets up with me at the designated time. I proceed to arrest him.

Is Fish guilty of conspiracy? Does he have any defenses?

Too easy, bro.

He's totes guilty of conspiracy because in NY there's only one guilty mind required for a conspiracy, but he cannot be convicted solely on the basis of your uncorroborated testimony.

He can raise entrapment and the first prong is met because the plan is of your design, but he'll have difficulty meeting the second prong because he will have to prove beyond POTE that he was not already predisposed to committing the crime and the alpha prosecutors will be allowed to introduce evidence of past convictions to show predisposition.

Fish is totes fucked.

Sabu, frustrated with his poor mastery of criminal law materials, goes to the store and buys 5 gallons of lighter fluid. He returns to his home--a tent-cabin in a heavily wooded area--which he shares with a roommate. In a rage, he sets fire to the woods surrounding the tent-cabin. The flames lap at the structure, blackening the entire exterior and causing extreme discoloration. Alarmed, the roommate runs out of the tent-cabin, jumps into his car, and peels out. A speeding bus t-bones the car just as it exits the driveway, killing the roommate instantly.

What crimes, if any, did Sabu commit?
