Self-defense is recognized by the common law as a defense against criminal charges on certain specific grounds.

<h3><u>Explanation: </u></h3>

If in a gruesome act of self-defense, there is a serious bodily injury or death of the person attempting to hurt or potentially kill the other person, the act of the former is considered valid and reasonable.

This is because the common law grants each and every individual the right to fight and the right to defend oneself in situations that may culminate in death or serious physical injury.

How can you make a bad friend a good person <br>​
alexdok [17]
You can’t necessarily change peoples’ behaviors or how “good” or “bad” they are, but you can communicate what it is that bothers you. Often there are things happening to them at home or out of wherever you know them from that can make them not the most pleasurable people to be around. Try to just be the bigger person, and if they decide not to, then they don’t deserve to be a friend.

Arguing for the acquittal of his client from the charge of murdering the client's wife, the attorney reasoned that since neither
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: C In a 100-meter race, two of Amy's co-participants won Silver and Bronze and she performed exceedingly well; it follows that Amy won Gold.

Explanation:

There is a flaw in the evidence presented by the lawyer, several flaws actually:

  • The client could have been the culprit and left the main door and garage open as an alibi.
  • There is no mention of there being an altercation with a thief that cost the wife her life.
  • There is no mention of things being stolen to prove that it was a thief.

The attorney used one logic and deduced a flawed conclusion from it so the option that is similar has to do the same as the above.

Option A is not applicable here as blame was taken by the perpetrator.

Option B is not flawed as one would be expected to be late in such circumstances.

Option C has a flaw because performing exceedingly well is relative. Amy could simply be performing exceedingly well in relation to past races. Amy's co-participants could have performed even better which is why they won medals and while Amy performed exceedingly well by her standards, it was not enough to win a medal.

Option D has no flaw. It is a logical deduction and argument just like option E.
