Answer 1

Answer:

I agree with the opinion of

the Prosecution's gang expert that Cabrera's murder was a foreseeable consequence of the shooting of Linares.

Explanation

Richard Linares, a member of the Alley Boys gang was shot dead by Cervantes, a member of a rival gang called the High Street Boys gang, during an Halloween party in 1994.

The late Linares was trying to broker peace between Cervantes of the High Street gang and Juan Cisneros of the Alley Boys, who had an altercation over a girl.

He, Linares, unfortunately, lost his life in the process.

Enraged over the loss of a member of their gang, the Alley Boys responded in revenge by shooting Hector Cabrera, a member of the High Street gang while he was trying to escape in his car.

Cabrera's death, was in response to Cervantes action of shooting Linares and was therefore a foreseeable act of revenge by the Alley Boys over the shooting of Richard Linares.
