However, on the way to the store with the mower, he was involved in an automobile accident, totaling the car. In a common law jurisdiction, of what property is the defendant guilty of larceny

Answer:

In a common law jurisdiction, the property that the defendant is guilty of larceny is the lawnmower.

Explanation:

Larceny or theft is the intentional possession of someone's property for the purpose of permanently depriving the owner of its use.  The property may be the person's identity, intellectual property, services, and personal property.  Though the automobile was totally ruined, the neighbor did not initially intend to dispossess the owner of the car.  But he intended to dispossess the owner of the lawnmower since he was about to trade it in for a new one, which will belong to him and not the former owner.

Suppose a defendant is convicted at trial but believes that the judge made an error that impacted the decision. She would first
densk [106]

Initially, a defendant's case is at a trial court (Federal, State, Circuit Courts).

Then the case proceeds to the Court of Appeal before finally moving to the Supreme Court of the state or at the federal level.

But it is not true that all cases must move to the Supreme Court when the defendant appeals. The movement to the highest court requires the acceptance of the defendant's argument and the merit of each case.

Thus, the defendant's case can move from a <em>trial court,</em><em> an </em><em>appeals court,</em><em> and then to the </em><em>supreme court.</em>
