My criminal law final was about a guy with Asperger's Syndrome who tries to rape a pre-op male-to-female transsexual. She ends up beating him to death and burying his body in the woods. Can he successfully raise the insanity defense? What category of homicide, if any, is she guilty of?

the worst hypotheticals ever!!! the stupid exercises in this book caused 2 days of class debates which my professor ended in sarcastic comments about the exceptional quality of this book! the cases themselves are ok, but the hypotheticals are just dreadful!!!

Really not a good casebook at all...
Difficult to understand the law since there is no commentary other than the cases.
