Liability law points to the legal framework that is usually associated with the legal responsibilities for one’s acts or omissions. One should always own up their responsibilities or their acts failure to which may lead to a lawsuit for any resulting damage. In this context, therefore, the court was very wrong to dismiss the charges against Jack, who should have owned his intentions of killing Pratt. The law underscores this fact by stipulating that a person is legally liable when he/ she is financially and legally responsible for something. This law concerns both civil as well as criminal law.

Though Jack’s attorney dismissed the charge on the ground that the gun malfunctioned, Jack had bad intentions of harming Bert actually. This amounts to a criminal act that should punishable by the law. It was so wrong of the court to dismiss the charge since it has a heavy hand of crime in it which in one way or another is perilous. Attempted murder is a scandalous offence especially for the purposes of provisions of the Justice Act 2003. The court should have considered one of the sentences for public protection prescribed in the very act. This is simply to protect the interest of the public from Jack, who apparently had become dangerous. For him to continue living among the people is a mockery of the greatest order since for once...
