    Question A: Likelihood of Kimberly’s claim being successful: With the central issue in Kimberly’s circumstance of being physically and mentally impaired due to the shutters of the Bed & Breakfast house flying off and as a result, hitting the plaintiff (Kimberly), there is a high possibility that Kimberly’s claim will succeed. As a result of Elle being aware that months after the shutters were installed, she noticed splinters in the wood and damage in some of the shutters but took no precautionary measures to ensure that the risk of harm was eliminated, Kimberly’s claim of negligence on behalf of Elle is likely to be successful. With revelation to Elle’s failure to eliminate the risk of harm, Elle’s lack of action to take reasonable care has…

    Facts: The evening of May 4, 1982, Charma and Hugh Riddle were in their living room watching television. Mrs. Riddle proceeded to leave the room to go to the bathroom, but was surprised to find “respondent Cartwright” in the hallway with a shotgun in his hands (1).

Torts against persons are intentional acts that harm an individual’s physical or mental integrity (Kubasek, pg. 111). A person who is legally injured may be able to use tort law to recover damages from someone who is legally responsible, or “liable,” for those injuries.

In Weeks, the Court made a landmark decision relating to illegal search and seizure by law enforcement called the Exclusionary Rule.

However, it was not until the 1961 case of Mapp v. Ohio that the Court made the Exclusionary Rule binding on the states…
