A mob enforcer shot a pawnshop owner in the kneecap, intending to put him in the hospital because he was not paying his protecti

on fees to the mob. However, the pawnshop owner hit his head on the edge of the counter when he fell. He suffered a blood clot and died as a result. A statute in the jurisdiction provides that a criminal homicide constitutes murder in the first degree when it is committed by an intentional and premeditated killing, murder in the second degree when it is committed while the defendant is engaged in the commission of a dangerous felony, and murder in the third degree for all other types of murder at common law. Another statute provides that manslaughter is a killing in the heat of passion on adequate legal provocation or a killing caused by criminal negligence. The crimes below are listed in descending order of seriousness. If the enforcer is charged with the pawnshop owner's killing, what is the most serious crime for which he can be convicted?

Answer:

Murder in the second degree, because the killing occurred during the commission of the felony of assault with a deadly weapon.

Explanation:

When a murder is deemed as intentional and premeditated, then it means the accused actually wanted to take the life of the slain person and had planned the activity well ahead of time before carrying out the action. However, in this case, there isn't any evidence of premeditated shot. However, there is an act of felony in this case, whereby a mob assault a pawnshop owner for the payment of non-legal fees. This act of felony was then carried out with the use of a deadly weapon like a gun, when an assault is perpetrated with a weapon such as a gun, then the death of the victim is a distinct possibility.

How do you derive the simplified version for each component in the simple vapor-compression cycle?
vfiekz [6]

The compressor, condenser, expansion valve/throttle valve, and evaporator are the four elements that make up the vapor compression cycle.

The main difficulties in vapor compression refrigeration system miniaturization for designs based on standard-scale systems have to do with component integration and miniaturization.

The most important aspect of all mechanical refrigeration systems is the creation of a compact yet effective gas compressor.

The first factor is connected to the most basic separation mechanism that comes to mind: gravity. The maximum vapor velocity that is permitted should be determined by looking at the terminal velocity of the droplets if gravity settling is to be employed as a separation technique. This will prevent the droplets from being swept away with the vapor.

Ratification of the Constitution did not come easy. Two groups fought over whether or not the Constitution was a good government
netineya [11]

Here is information for both perspectives:

Federalists

I would support the federalists because they believed in a strong central government that would help to unite the states. Along with this, the creation of a new stronger federal government would help to solve the problems America faced under its first constitution, the Articles of Confederation. Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government could not tax or even raise an army. With the new US Constitution, the federal government would have these necessary powers in order to ensure safety within American society.

Anti-Federalists

I would support the Anti-Federalists because they were advocates of states rights. Along with this, the Anti-Federalists knew that a central government with too much power could very easily result in a monarchy, much like the one the United States experienced when controlled by Great Britain.
