Directions
Research and locate a news article describing how a defendant asserts a defense of justification, a procedural defense, or a defense of excuse.
Give the facts of the case.
Identify and explain the defendant’s justification, procedural defense, or excuse.
Which of the four primary elements of a crime is the defendant trying to negate with the justification, procedural defense, or excuse?
For example: If a defendant asserts self-defense to a murder charge, then the defendant is attempting to negate the mens rea crime element (the defendant
did not form the intent to commit murder because the murder resulted from self-defense).
Use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation on your slides. This presentation requires use of the class textbook with proper APA style for parenthetical
citations and reference slide.
