Late one Saturday night, Eric breaks into a jewelry store. He fills a pillow case with silverware and jewelry. As he is preparin

g to depart, he hears a noise. Eric hides behind a display case. He observes a private security guard walking through the area. The unarmed guard does not see Eric. As the guard passes him, Eric hits the guard with the bag of silverware and jewelry. Dazed, the guard falls to the floor. Before he can regain his senses, Eric wraps the guard’s hands in duct tape. He also tapes over the guards mouth. Eric figures it will take a few hours for the guard to extract himself and by that time Eric will be long gone. Eric then flees the scene. Try as he might, however, the guard is unable to free himself. Since the store is not open on Sunday and Monday is a holiday, the bound guard is not discovered until Tuesday. By that time he has died of dehydration. What is the most serious offense, if any, Eric has committed?
a. Manslaughter because Eric was reckless in putting tape over the guard’s mouth
b. No offense because Eric did not intend to kill the security guard
c. Murder because of the felony murder rule
d. Capital murder because the security guard was unarmed

The serious offense that Eric has committed is known as "murder" because of the felony murder rule.

<h3>What is the felony murder rule?</h3>

It quotes that when a person commits a violent felony and another person dies as a result, then, the person that committing the felony can be charged with murder even if they did not mean for anyone to die or did not directly commit the act.

Therefore, the Option C is correct.

In Ability Center, et al. v. Moline Builders, et al., the court issued a decision on August 10, 2020 giving partial summary judgement in favor of the plaintiffs and against the defendants (N.D. Ohio).

The front entrance and the walkway leading to a covered unit must be accessible to people with disabilities under the Fair Housing Act's accessibility standards for newly built multifamily residences.

Defendants contended that their primary responsibility was to create a path for people with disabilities to enter the apartment, which they claimed they had accomplished by constructing a path through the garage.

The front entrances and walkways of covered houses are "public use and common use components," according to the United States' Statement of Interest.
