A wife suffered from a particularly virulent form of cancer, and had lapsed into a nearly comatose state. Because the doctors had indicated that any treatment they could prescribe would be of little value, her husband decided to administer various poisons to his wife, thinking that they might stimulate her natural body defenses, or kill the cancer cells, resulting in her recovery. He tried doses of many different types of poison. Despite his ministrations, his wife died three days later. An autopsy performed by the county coroner established the cause of death as cancer. If the husband is prosecuted for the murder of his wife, which of these is the best reason why he would be acquitted?A. He was trying to save her life. B. He did not have the necessary malice for his actions to constitute murder. C. Medical science had given her up for dead. D. He did not cause her death.
