Answer:

(D) Both can be convicted of murder.

Explanation:

The common law of murder refers to the murderous act of taking someone's life regardless of the intention. This criminal act is an element of malice aforethought, terming any criminal act with predetermined intent as common law.

In the case of Sally and Ralph, though the ricocheting bullet was not intended. their predetermined intent in robbing the bank means they are culpable of ac crime. And in that course of action, the accidental killing of one of the bank's customers makes them guilty of the crime of murder.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Provide two examples on how Easter is celebrated
Zina [86]
In most places they celebrate Easter because it was when Jesus the son of god had risen

Easter and Good Friday in Philippines are indeed celebrated in a unique way. The most striking feature in the Easter celebration is that Filipinos whip themselves and wear crowns of thorns. Some even choose to nail their hands and feet to a wood to represent the crucifixion of Jesus.

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

A. The demand for labor increases faster than the supply of labor.

Explanation:

When the demand for labor increase faster than the supply, the employees will have more options to choose and the employers have to compete with other employers in order to obtain them.

This will make the employers raise the wages/salary that they offer in order to attract the employees and cause an increase in the equilibrium wage.
