Trayvon Martin case as well as the -castle- and -stand your ground- doctrines Revised and expanded discussion of the Model Penal Code's basic culpability framework Expanded coverage of battered woman/spouse syndrome Expanded and updated coverage of medical marijuana laws and state decriminalization of marijuana Updated cases and notes throughout the book CasebookConnect features: ONLINE E-BOOK Law school comes with a lot of reading, so access your enhanced e-book anytime, anywhere to keep up with your coursework.
