A sample question
Gil plans to rob a post office. Wearing a mask and carrying an imitation gun, he walks into the post office and heads towards the counter, where he is arrested before saying anything. He is charged with attempted robbery. Which statement best describes the law?
- He cannot be guilty, because he had not yet demanded money from anyone
- He is guilty only if he had done the last act needed to commit the robbery
- He is guilty of attempted robbery as soon as he decided to commit the offence
- A jury could find his acts more than merely preparatory to the robbery
- He cannot be guilty, because the gun was only an imitation
