question 39

Multiple Choice

Roger is the CFO of a corporation and is having a business dinner with some of the company's largest shareholders. Roger knowingly and intentionally starts drinking a variety of alcoholic drinks and even excuses himself to secretly snort cocaine in the men's room. By the end of the evening he is obviously intoxicated. His dinner companions keep buying more rounds of drinks, and Roger needs no urging to continue drinking. By dessert he is obviously extremely intoxicated. At that point his companions ask him to sign a variety of documents, which he doesn't read due to his condition. The documents turn out to be falsified financial statements, which are then supplied to the accountants who are auditing the company.

• A) Roger's act of signing the documents is enough for him to be guilty of criminal fraud.
• B) Because Roger was voluntarily intoxicated, he has no defense against a charge of criminal fraud.
• C) Because Roger was so intoxicated, he likely could not have formed the required mens rea and would not be guilty of criminal fraud.
• D) Roger is not guilty of criminal fraud because he did not voluntarily sign the documents due to his intoxication.
