There are two parts to this assignment:

A. With the aid if Section 16 and 221(a)(b) of the criminal code (see predictive writing exercise pdf), break down the rule in Section 220 into a list of elements and any exceptions.

 

B. You've been asked to determine whether Nansen or Byrd is likely to be convicted of criminal sale of a controlled substance. The question isn't whether Nansen or Byrd criminally sold a controlled substance, but whether either of them is likely to be convicted of doing that. To make that prediction, take into account section 10(a) of the Criminal Code: No person shall be convicted of a crime except on evidence proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Using the list of elements in part A, decide whether each element can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, and whether any exceptions are satisfied. Then make your prediction.
