Answer:

Explanation:

The meaning if contributory negligence is a type of law whereby if a plaintiff ( the accuser) has been found to have 10%, fault at cause will gave nothing to recover even if the defendant has 90% at fault.

From the above question, the street crosser as just a little fault to the accident which is crossing the street that is very dangerous without considering the options, whether a car is approaching or not and the defendant has about 95% fault because if he was driving at a controlled speed, there is every chance that he would have controlled the situation. But been the fact that state B is a contributory negligence state, based on my explanation of negligence state, it is possible for the defendant to win the case. As a lawyer I will advise the driver to go on with his defense that the plantif is more at fault.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Motive, Crime of Passion and Sam is a suspect

Explanation:

Motive for killing a person will be determined by the intent to kill in terms of the circumstance surrounding at the very moment. If Sam's wife had committed the act as he claims and then she is now missing this leads to a motive if she is found dead.

A Crime of Passion may have also occurred if he was distraught by hearing the news that he was betrayed. In that instant he may have lost his judgement and committed a crime, if, in fact, she is found dead.

However if is very likely that Sam is a suspect in his wife's disappearance as he was the last person to have been with her right before he disappeared. Not only this but he was heard saying that harm may come to her which establishes that they were not on good terms.
