The autopsy reveals the cause of death to be the rejection of the donor heart and that this outcome can be attributed to a combination of inaccurate tissue typing, when Max received the organ transplant, and a failure to diagnose the rejection syndrome which would have been treatable with a course of antioxygenitropic drugs. Consider Linda s liability for murder and any applicable defences. Back to top of page Question 3 Roy and Dale are both career criminals who have in the past joined forces to commit armed robberies. Dale s role on those occasions has been to drive Roy to the scene of the robbery in a stolen car, wait in the car while Roy carries out the robbery and then drive Roy from the scene at high speed. One day, Roy approaches Dale, informs him that he is planning a robbery on a motor garage in a nearby suburb of Adelaide and asks Dale whether he would be interested in playing his usual role in stealing a car and then driving Roy to and from the scene of the robbery.
Dale agrees to the plan, as money is short and the proceeds of the robbery are to be shared equally.
On the date agreed, Dale steals a car and then collects Roy, whom he knows to be armed with a semi-automatic pistol. Dale knows that Roy is a violent man who revels in the use of force, and who would be quite prepared to use the pistol if resistance were encountered. However, this has never happened before and Dale hopes that everything will run smoothly as usual. What Dale does not know is that Roy is not actually planning an armed robbery. In fact, Roy plans to execute a contract killing of Albert, the garage owner.
