1. 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. [PL 2017, c. 432, Pt. C, §1 (NEW).] 2. In cases in which concurrent causation is generated as an issue, the defendant’s conduct must also have been sufficient by itself to produce the result. [PL 2017, c. 432, Pt. C, §1 (NEW).]
