Assignment Task
 

Simon and Mick are brothers. They each have a lengthy criminal record for property and public disorder offences. While out walking one night, they notice that a new “assisted living” housing estate has been built at the edge of town. Though most of the properties appear empty, there is a car parked outside the entrance of no.34. As they are short of money and there does not appear to be anyone around, they decide to take their chances and break into the house to see if they can get their hands on some ready cash and the keys to the car. Simon picks up a brick from a nearby construction site and throws it through the living room window of no.34, shattering the glass.
The occupant of the house, Tina, is 91 years old and suffers from brittle bones and a heart condition. She is sitting on the sofa without any light on, as she had fallen asleep some hours ago. She wakes with a start when she hears the crash and sees the two men enter the room through the window. Tina is terrified and screams loudly. Mick grabs a poker from the fireside and holds it near her in a threatening manner, shouting at her to ‘shut the hell up, woman!’ He continues: ‘If you move a muscle you’re done for! Just tell me where the cash is!’
Tina points timidly at her purse which is lying on a coffee table in the corner of the room. Simon grabs the purse, and the keys to her car and jumps back out of the window, followed closely by Mick. They drive Tina’s car away. About 30 minutes after the men leave, Tina, who has not been taking the medication prescribed by her doctor for her heart condition, suffers a heart attack and dies. Raymond, Tina’s carer, has been hiding in a storage cupboard for the entire duration of the incident, and emerges only after he hears Tina collapse. Raymond sees Tina lying on the floor struggling to breathe and leaves the house immediately without calling for an ambulance.
Exhilarated in the minutes after leaving Tina’s house, Simon and Mick decide to reward themselves by purchasing some cocaine with the money from Tina’s purse. They drive to their old friend Mido’s house, from which they know he often sells cocaine. Mido agrees to sell them €500 worth of cocaine, and brings both into his kitchen to complete the sale. Once they open Tina’s purse, however, Simon and Mick see that there is only €25 in it. Still wanting the cocaine, Simon sees a used syringe on kitchen table, and holds it to Mido’s stomach telling him to give them the cocaine. Mido reluctantly hands over the cocaine. Mick places it in a tote bag he finds on the kitchen floor, and both men leave the house. As Simon walks past Mido to leave, he grabs Mido’s buttock and says ‘sorry about this, we will make it up to you’. Later that night, when Mick opens the tote bag to retrieve the cocaine, he realises there are hundreds of images of child sexual abuse in the bag.
Furious after Mick and Simon leave the house, Mido begins drinking alcohol in an attempt to calm down. Mido consumes half a litre of whiskey in 5 minutes, and wanders into his housemate Saoirse’s bedroom. Mido climbs into her bed and puts his arm around her. Saoirse, believing Mido to be her girlfriend Rabiah, kisses Mido. Mido then initiates unprotected penetrative vaginal sex with Saoirse. In the previous month, Mido began to fear he may have contracted HIV from sharing heroin needles with someone with a confirmed HIV diagnosis.
Rabiah returns from work a few hours later to find Mido in bed with Saoirse. Saoirse and Rabiah proceed to tie Mido up, and hit him with Saoirse’s hurley, breaking a number of ribs. During this, Mido repeatedly cries: ‘this is what I deserve’.
Consider the criminal liability of Simon, Mick, Raymond, Mido, Saoirse and Rabiah. Use ILAC method.
