I just wish i could see their faces when they realised te error of their ways, its nice to know that even though her dog is dead it still got the last laugh on the people wo broke in to her house.
im going to go in to business making signs "Beware of the dead dog!"

Tilda said:Sparx, part of the test is not what you think, but what the reasonable man would think. The reasonable man would think that its possible that someone comming into your house might eat a sweet. Therefore you should have foreseen it, therefore manslaughter.
tris- said:im reasonable and what id think is if some man didnt break the law and come into my house, it wouldnt of been possible to eat the sweet.
Sparx said:but no reasonable person with right of entry would take a sweet.
Paramedic for example wouldnt touch anything because in a situation where they need to enter a house everythnig would be seen as dangerous and they would be too busy with the casualty
I'm just going with the arguement that its in the privacy of your home and you will to your knowledge have to visitors. Anyone there wouldnt touch your belongings unless they were looking for something specific and even then they aint gonna eat anything
So the same arguement can be said for both sides Reasonable person etc etc
