QUESTIONS:

1. Juan and Arturo devised a plan to murder Joel. In a narrow alley Joel’s house, Juan
will hide behind the big lamppost and shoot Joel when the latter passes through on

shoot Joel from behind. On the appointed day, Arturo was apprehended by the
authorities before reaching the alley. When Juan shot Joel as planned, he was
unaware that Arturo was arrested earlier. Discuss the criminal liability of Arturo, if
any.
