Hi!

Would you like to help me solve these question?

Her husband is the breadwinner for the family but there is seldom enough money to pay all their bills. This is the third time she has been convicted of theft from a store. What factors will the judge consider when sentencing her, and what would be appropriate components of the sentence?

2/ She is a trained boxer. One night while she is sleeping she hears a scream for help coming from the apartment next door. She jumps out of bed and rushes to the aid of her neighbor. The door is unlocked so she is able to enter the apartment. She fends off the husband who is attacking his wife. Later the husband wants to prosecute her for trespass. What defense will be available to her?
