What will be an ideal response?


This element refers to legal cause; there must be a causal link between the crime and the harm resulting from it. If Joan shot her husband and he survived for a month but then died of complications related to a cancerous brain tumor, it would be difficult to convict Joan of murder because the act (the shooting) would not be linked to the harm (the death).
