Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A pharmacy employee, diagnosed with a mental disorder affecting impulse control, intentionally sabotages a batch of prescription medications, making them unsafe. Afterward, the employee claims they were unable to appreciate the wrongfulness of their actions due to the disorder. However, they were able to physically plan and carry out the sabotage. Under these circumstances, which principle best evaluates the employee’s criminal liability?

  • The defense will succeed if the mental disorder caused the defendant to experience significant cognitive or behavioral impairment at the time of the offense.

  • The mental disorder defense focuses on whether the defendant displayed symptoms of their disorder during the offense without necessarily considering their full understanding of the act’s wrongfulness.

  • Criminal liability is eliminated if the defendant’s mental disorder partially impaired but did not eliminate their physical ability to carry out the offense.

  • The appropriate test for determining insanity in this case examines whether the defendant could understand the wrongfulness of their conduct at the time of the offense.
