Section 33 - Result as an element; causation1. Unless otherwise provided, when causing a result is an element of a crime, causation may be found when the result would not have occurred but for the conduct of the defendant, operating either alone or concurrently with another cause. [2017, c. 432, Pt. C, §1(NEW).]
2. In cases in which concurrent causation is generated as an issue, the defendants conduct must also have been sufficient by itself to produce the result. [2017, c. 432, Pt. C, §1(NEW).]
