Answer:

D. Alvin is likely guilty under the proximate cause theory of felony murder

Explanation:

Alvin was committing a crime. When Alvin committed the crime there was an unknown consequence that he did not intend and that was the store clerk shooting an innocent by stander. Nevertheless, Alvin is still responsible for that innocent persons death. Now we have to decide whether its Manslaughter? Felony Murder? We can decide it is Felony Murder as Felony Murder is, "that if a person commits a violent felony and another person dies as a result, then they are guilty of felony murder." Alvin did not commit the act himself so it is not manslaughter. It is Felony Murder and it is under the "Proximate Cause" theory, not the agent theory. The proximate cause theory is when a person dies in the proximity of a crime and its most likely due to that crime, like this case. Meanwhile agent cause is when they are held liable for only deaths done by the criminals themselves, and Alvin did not commit the killing but it was due to his crime. The answer is D.

Employee theft coverage inventory will not be reimbursed if the only proof is what?
enot [183]

Employee theft coverage inventory will not be reimbursed if the only proof is loss in inventory or land and profit calculation.

<u>Explanation: </u>

An employer or a businessman can claim indemnity or insurance in case his employee commits property theft under the Employee theft coverage. This coverage can help for indemnifying the loss of property, money or securities as result of theft by the employee.

However, inventory shortages are not covered under this cover if the only proof available is profit and loss calculation. But if there is other proof like video of the theft, etc. then such loss can also be covered under this insurance scheme.
