1. The defence attorney is cross-examining a witness. When all the evidence has been seen
and heard, the jury will retire and decide whether the defendant is innocent or guilty.

the victims death was accidental, the defendant may be found guilty of second degree murder or
manslaughter.

bodily harm or, more simply, assault.
The list of violent criminals includes: kidnappers, arsonists, smugglers, blackmailers, forgers,
armed robbers, burglars, pick-pockets, shoplifters and trespassers.
