Kathy, a fashion model, witnessed a motor vehicle accident but did not stop because she was late for her pedicure and simply did

n't want to get involved. Had she stopped, she could have saved the life of Tom, who was thrown from the car and landed in a water filled ditch, without danger to herself. When Tom's widow heads that Kathy could have easily saved Tom's life but chose to ignore the situation, she sued Kathy. The state has no "Good Samaritan" laws or duty to assist laws, but such cases have been brought in the past. Which of the following will the court apply when making a decision in this case?

Answer:

common law

Explanation:

When good samaritan law does not apply in a certain state, the common law tends to dictate that a person cannot be held liable to the negative results of an accident as long as that person is not directly involved or hindering the helping process.

Even though Kathy's behavior is morally wrong, she's most likely wouldn't receive legal punishment. That's being said,  She might receive social punishment (such as backlash from other people who knows about the case)

Crazy boy [7]

In the wars that the “founding fathers”, the main leaders of the colonists at that time, stood out.

It was these leaders who drafted, in 1776, the Declaration of Independence of the United States and, after the war, in 1787, composed the so-called Bill Of Rights, that is, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution of the United States of America, which prevails until today. For this reason, they were called "founding fathers", or "fouding fathers", as they are considered to be those who gave the United States a political-legal architecture, claiming its right to exist as an independent nation-state.

The main names among the “founding fathers” are: <u>John and Samuel Adams, George Washington (who became the first president), Thomas Jefferson, George Clymer, Benjamin Franklin, George Tylor and George Rea.</u>

Judge Evans strongly advocates giving defendants sentencing credit for good behavior and believes parole is an important tool fo
IceJOKER [234]

Judge Evans also opposes any statutory limitations on his sentencing discretion. Judge Evans most likely is a proponent of indeterminate sentencing.

<h3>What is indeterminate sentencing?</h3>

When a penalty for a crime is provided as a range, the sentencing structure is known as an indeterminate one. A defendant might receive a sentence of "15 years to life in prison," for instance. A minimum prison time is always specified in cases of indeterminate sentencing, but a release date is never specified. A state parole board often decides the precise release date after reviewing a case.

Both indeterminate sentencing provides for the early release of prisoners. A parole board will normally grant early release in an indeterminate system if inmates can show that they have rehabilitated themselves.
