Robbery is a crime committed by taking or attempting to take anything of value by
violence, intimidation, or using force to threaten the victim (Tom, n.d). It is evident in this case
that the Snow White attempted to steal from the Evil Queen by putting her life in fear. He
forcibly threatened her to give him money, failure to which he will harm her. Therefore, the
charges against Snow White with attempted robbery are precise.
On the other hand, attempted murder is the unfinished, unsuccessful action of killing
someone. The two elements of attempted murder are that; the offender must have had actions
towards killing another person or acted with an intention to kill a person (Tom, n.d). It is clear
from this case that the actions of both Snow White and Happy towards Evil Queen were intended
to kill her. The gun fired by Happy was aimed at her, and could have killed or cause serious
harm to her. On the other hand, Snow White also shot at her and caused severe injuries that could
have led to her death.
Since Evil Queen took away the car without the consent of the owner, it was enough for
her to be charges with larceny. However, if she would realize that she mistakenly took another
person’s car and returns it back, it would not constitute to larceny. It is because Larceny is a
specific intent crime (Ward, 2015). So because her intension was not specific, the court may find
not guilty for Larceny. On the other hand, for her to be charged with assault, it must be proved
that she had an intension to harm the other person base on her state of mind at the time of harm
as per the laws of intoxication.
Additionally, for Happy, Doc, Bashful, and Grumpy to be charged with accomplice
liability, the court must prove that they actively participated in aiding, assisting, or encourages
another in the commissioning of a crime done by another (Moore, 2007). It is evident that all of
