Essay Instructions: CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

Please answer the following question in essay form.
Art, an undercover police agent posing as a hoodlum, is asked by Bob to assist him in murdering Carl. When Art pretends to agree, Bob shows Art a bomb he is making to attach to the starter of Carl’s car. At Bob’s request, Art helps complete the bomb but secretly rigs it not to explode. Bob then takes the bomb to Carl’s house alone and attaches it to Carl’s automobile. The police, having been tipped of by Art, arrive just as Bob finishes. The immediately arrest Bob, remove the bomb and take him to the nearest police station. The police then return to Carl’s house where they conduct a through search of both Carl’s automobile and Bob’s car (parked across the street). In Bob’s automobile they find a sales receipt for the same kind and amount of explosive used for the bomb in Carl’s auto.

Bob is charged with attempted murder. At trial, the prosecution introduced the bomb and the sales receipt into evidence. Art testifies to Bob’s original request that Art helped him murder Carl. Art also testifies to a conversation he had with Bob when he visited Bob in jail after his indictment. In the latter conversation, Bob made damaging admissions. At no time did Art advise Bob that he was and undercover police agent. Art testifies that he secretly recorded both the conversations on a miniature tape recorder; and the recordings are introduced to corroborate his testimony. The jury finds Bob guilty.

Assuming that all Bob’s rights are properly preserved, what legal problems are presented on appeal to the highest court of the state? Discuss.


NOTE
Please make sure to use the appropiate format (IRAC)
Use the commonly recommended format for answering essay exam questions referred to as I-R-A-C. It is easy, and the examiners are accustomed to this style. First, state the ISSUE. Second, state the RULE of law that applies. Third, APPLY the law to the facts. (This is where you will get the vast majority of your points--play with the facts--argue pro/con–discuss.) Fourth, state a CONCLUSION. (It’s okay to qualify a conclusion, but you should state one.)
