In Commonwealth v. Schnopps 459 N.E.2d 98 (Mass. 1983) answer the following question:

2. Explain WHY you chose this particular case. This needs to be a detailed explanation. Not simply "because I liked it" or "because I don't agree with the court." Perhaps it was the facts of the case that struck you, or you really enjoyed the particular topic surrounding the case, etc...

3. A short resuscitation of the facts. Make sure to include all relevant facts. Do not simply copy the words from the book.

4. Did you agree or disagree with the court's decision? WHY? Explain and defend. Your answer must tie in and incorporate the chapter material. This should also include the analysis of criminal liability.

5. How did the ruling, in this case, affect the defendant, the victim, and the community?

6. How do you believe that this case ruling affects societal behavior as a whole?
