Travis and Greg had a lot of time on their hands with not much to do. They were just 18 and had very little supervision at home because their father had just gone off to fight in the Gulf War. They put together a plan to break into the National Guard headquarters just to see if they would be able to do it successfully. They had been watching lots of Mission Impossible lately and it motivated them to do something exciting. Their plan was to scale the fence, slowly crawl undetected through the yard, climb the building, drop in through the chimney, and exit through the front door. Might Travis and Greg be found guilty of sabotage?
a. Yes, because they interfered with the national defense of the United States
b. No, unless the prosecution can demonstrate a specific intent to injure the national defense
c. Yes, because sabotage is a strict liability crime
d. No, regardless of their intent because there was no demonstrable damage
b. No, unless the prosecution can demonstrate a specific intent to injure the national defense
