Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A defendant is charged with larceny for taking a bicycle from a public bike rack, believing it was their own due to a mistaken identification of the make and model. What is the most accurate defense regarding their mistaken belief?

  • The defendant lacked the intent to commit larceny because they reasonably believed the bike was theirs.

  • The defendant is excused from liability because their mistaken belief is valid for both factual and legal crimes.

  • The defendant's lack of knowledge that taking the bike without confirming ownership is illegal is a valid defense.

  • The defendant can rely on the defense that larceny charges require the value of the taken property to exceed a certain amount.
