128 Words1 Page

Can April Feldman (Feldman) be liable for the jogger’s injuries, when she properly restrained the dog and had no reasonable suspicion that her dog would harm an individual? Under Vermont Law, an owner of a domestic animal is not liable for injuries sustained by third parties, however there are exceptions. Restatement (First) of Torts § 509 (1938) Generally, “the possessor of a domestic animal is not subject to liability of others, unless the owner has reason to know of the animal’s dangerous propensities abnormal to its class.” Id. Feldman would mostly not be held liable for the jogger’s injuries because she did not have responsible suspicion that her dog, Brady was a probably source of danger.

    The case that I have found to write about is the case of Shakeel “Blam” Wiggins and the New York Police Department in New York City which happened in September of 2013. This case was originally tried in the state of New York court in New York City. It was based on the fact that a NYPD cop didn’t properly fill out a search-warrant application that turned up a weapon as well as a handgun and a cocaine cache. Unfortunately, Mr. Wiggins is an accused drug dealer with a prior record and he may likely walk due to “a technicality.” Therefore, the New York City Police Department as well as the New York City police union were very upset because a dangerous person may be back on the streets due to a supple mistake.

    1452 Words  | 6 Pages

    Dave had violated the law under Section 352 of the Penal Code when he assaults May by banging on the door and shouting at the top of his voice threatening May to watch out once he got hold of May. When the lock gave way, May was afraid that Dave could harm her as Dave is an Australian six foot tall guy, therefore she jumped out of the window and broke her ankle. Under the section 352 of the penal code, it also says that unless the defendant actions are caused by grave and sudden provocation, he shall be punished with a fine or a jail term or both. In Dave’s case, there is no grave and sudden provocation in my opinion as he has the time to follow May upstairs. Similar to R v Roberts (1971), the court held that the defendant’s actions were foreseeable

    When Esther Summerson ran over her husband Creakle, the accident occurred while driving. Accordingly, the issue at hand is whether her manner of driving was irresponsible making her culpable in the death of her husband. Therefore, a lack of mens rea if proven is the only defense that can show a lack of criminal culpability for Esther in the death of Creakle. Esther can be charged under S.249(4) “Dangerous operation causing death” of the Criminal Code of Canada (hereafter, the Criminal Code) if her manner of driving is considered dangerous to the public (Criminal Code, 1985).

They looked as if they was about to have a physical confrontation. Since Brady is a champion, married to a famous super model, and a quarterback for a professional football team, the media was bias about his actions.
