Answer:

c. Dawn would have been obligated to assist Sarah under the European bystander rule

Explanation:

The bystander rule is a type of rule which states that a person generally has no legal obligation to rescue, save or assist another (victim) who is in danger or at risk, even if the society imposes a moral responsibility to act as such.

This is known as the American bystander rule and is opposite from the European rule which mandates intervention and assistance, the European version of this rule is called the Good Samaritan rule

so under the European bystander/Good Samaritan rule, Dawn would have been obligated to assist Sarah.

Part of an investigator’s job is to look for and collect physical evidence at crime scenes.
Mila [183]
1) Lets say the perpetrators were not smart about it and didn’t wear gloves when entering the home, if they touched anything they didn’t take and/or later their hand on anything in the house you could find finger prints and have them traced back to them if they are in the system.

2) Depending on how the perpetrators drove away, you can trace the tire tracks, if they left any, back to the tire of the car that was used. But lets say the car was stolen or unregistered, that would make it a little harder to trace the car back to the perpetrators that used it.

3) Perpetrators could have left many things. Used gloves, personal items (phones, laptops, watches etc. etc.) or anything the perpetrators may have touched/used. If they weren’t wearing gloves, they would of left finger prints on anything they touched therefore, you could link them to the crime. Unless they aren’t in the system.
