owed revenge. After consuming several drinks to build up his nerve and becoming intoxicated, the husband went to his friend's house and borrowed a gun, and then went to the neighbor's house. The neighbor had neglected to lock his front door, so the husband walked in. He found the neighbor trembling in the living room and pointed the gun at him.

Answer:

A. Murder.

Explanation:

The given situation describes that it is a murder case as the husband fired to the neighbor by a single shot which is totally unlawful as the husband needs to talk to his wife and neighbor to settle this and threaten him too far away from his wife. If they don't stop so her husband should involve the cops to settle this either by divorce or any other thing.

But he should not shot him as his life would be destroyed due to anger he took this step.

Therefore this is the case of murder.

What is the importance of the Okefenokee swamp to Georgia
Len [333]

The Okefenokee swamp extends from Waycross, GA to the Florida-Georgia state Line boundary. It was the last piece of “untamed” Georgia area after the Civil War as the area was thought to be uninhabitable by humans.

The swamp served as a boundary between three Georgia Native American nations, a settlement for Spanish missions, a canal site, safe have for slaves and whites, a battleground between the Seminoles and the US Army, and a railroad/logging site (which destroyed a significant amount of the habitat).

To this day it is a federally-protected, indigenous wildlife sanctuary for many threatened and endangered species.
