Scenario 1
 * Johnny is not feeling so good so he leaves work early and heads home. When he gets home, he sees the mail car parked in front of his house. Johnny runs inside his house and sees the mail on the kitchen table but does not see his wife or the mailman. He heads to his room and finds his wife getting jiggy with the mailman. Johnny pulls out a gun from his nightstand, shoots the man, his wife begs for forgiveness but Johnny shoots her too.

Scenario 2 Several accounts of first degree murder, perhaps a few arguable instances of second, or perhaps a few arguable instances of passion crimes. CBM
 * Jacoby is feeling down and out, and especially worse since his peers poke fun at him at school. On a regular basis Jacoby gets very angry at not only the peers, but also at his teachers. One day Jacoby snaps. He goes home and gets out his note book and starts writing down the details to his vengeance plan. Jacoby thinks long and hard for several weeks about the details, supplies he will need, and even the deaths he will eventually cause. After several more weeks, the plotted day arrives, and Jacoby equips himself and departs for his clandestine school operation. Needless to say, Jacoby shoots and kills 6 students, wounds 15, stabbed 3 teachers, and then sets fire to the chemistry classroom in attempts to burn the school down.

Scenario 3 One account of first degree murder (the security Guard), two accounts of 2nd (the elderly woman and the manager). CBM
 * Marcel is flat broke, and has lots of bills, a family to feed, and he owes a drug cartel upwards of $20,000. Marcel decides it would be in his best interest to assemble a team and rob a bank. Marcel observes the bank routine for 2 weeks, and plans on hitting the bank while an armored truck is delivering money. The truck arrives to drop off money, and a team of 6 gunmen with automatic weapons burst in and declare that the bank is going to be robbed. The team starts collecting monies, when a little old lady pulls her snub nose .38 and takes a shot at one of the gunmen. Marcel shoots and kills the granny, then the security guard who they tied up, then the bank manager (just because he liked the idea of killing). The team hops into the getaway vehicle and makes a break for the state lines. The team was apprehended in ohio.
