Lara, a businessperson in a rival healthcare company, privately hires Theo to murder her competitor, Marco, to eliminate competition. Lara and Theo have no written contract and no formal payment beyond an informal understanding. Theo, armed with a pistol, goes to Marco’s clinic during business hours, announces his intent to kill, and shoots Marco; Marco dies later from the injuries sustained. (a) Identify the doctrine on consummation of crimes and apply it to determine when Marco’s murder is consummated in this scenario. (b) Distinguish Theo’s liability from Lara’s liability, labeling each as principal by direct participation, principal by indispensable cooperation, or accomplice, with brief justification. (c) If there was no prior contract and no payment, would Lara still be liable as principal by indispensable cooperation? Explain.
