Using the Model Penal Code, answer the following: 1) Mickey needed money to pay her rent. She is behind 3 months in rent and fears being evicted. She decides to rob Bank of America. Mickey asks her roommate Carol to help her. They agree to split the money 55% Mickey and 45% for Carol. This was based on the fact that Carol was going to only purchase the items necessary to commit the crime, like the gun and ski mask, and agreed to be the lookout at the bank. Cheryl purchased a gun and ski mask early in the week. Midweek, she stopped into the local pub for a few drinks. She began telling the bartender about her plan to get money. The bartender said nothing. Later that week, before the robbery occurred, Mickey and Carol went to get their nails done. While at the nail salon, they were arrested. As the prosecutor, with what crimes can you charge Mickey and Carol? Do their actions constitute the crime of attempt? Discuss why or why not. Use legal reasoning to support your response
