Question:
Steven and Brandon are best friends who enjoy travel. When driving through a seemingly empty road their Jeep is hit with a blast of materials. The materials hit the Jeep when a city construction project team used explosives to remove the existing road in order to replace it with a new road. Steven is hurt; Brandon is okay. Later, during Steven's lawsuit to seek damages for his injuries, the lawyers depose a city official, the construction manager. The city official lies in the deposition.
1. Consider the scenario and identify the civil basis of the lawsuit. Is this negligence, an intentional tort (if so, which one) or strict liabilty?
2. Consider the scenario and indentify the business crime evident here concerning the city official's action at the deposition. Which crime best applies to this scenario?
