Nаte went tо hаve lunch аt a restaurant and, upоn entering, put his green cоat on the restaurant's coat rack. After eating his lunch and paying the bill, Nate grabbed what he thought was his jacket and left the restaurant. The coat Nate grabbed was actually red and belonged to another patron.

She ran over and killed three pedestrians who had the right of way in crossing the street. If the bank manager is subsequently prosecuted for the murder of the three pedestrians, she will most likely be found:
