Guess…What crime did each commit? Be specific!!!

null

1. “I don’t know why I did it. I had enough money to buy the CDs. But there were only a few people in the store so I just put them in my pocket when no one was looking. I never even noticed the security camera.”
_ _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _  or  _ _ _ _ _ _ _

 

2. “My husband had a big life insurance policy and I was the sole beneficiary. After I’d hit him with the hammer, I threw the body down the stairs to make it look like an accident. But you guys figured it out.”
_ _ _ _ _  –  _ _ _ _ _ _    _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _     _ _ _ _ _ _ 
(hahaha I guess if you don’t be a lawyer, you will not know this word!!!)

 

3. “I was so mad after he cut me off. At the red light I got and walked over to his car. When he rolled down the window, I just punched him right in the face. No, I’m not sorry. The jerk deserved it.”
_ _ _ _ _ _ _

 

4. “I told the teller I had a gun and to put all the cash in the bag”
_ _ _ _ _    _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

 

5. “Graffiti?  Are you kidding me? Okay, it’s only spray paint but it’s art, man. I don’t destroy anything. I create”
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
(this word is a jargon of law. wilful the struction of public or private property)

 

6. “We controlled the street. Every shop had to pay us every week or else. If they didn’t, well … a few bullet holes through their windows was usually enough to convince them.”
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

 

7. “I waited until everybody left.  Then I broke in through the back door. I couldn’t find any cash, but I got some jewelry, a digital camera and a laptop. Those were easy to sell.”
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

 

8. “I made the call. I told him that he had to pay one million in small, unmarked bills if he ever wanted to see his wife alive again. I called two days later to arrange the drop.”
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
(including ransom)

 

9. “We had a few drinks and went back to her place. One thing led to another. I thought she wanted to. When she resisted, yeah… I slapped her around a little, but I thought she liked it. I didn’t think I’d hit her hard enough to break her jaw.”
_ _ _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _ _ _
(assault+battery / attemped rape, in another word.)

 

10. “I took some old rags and dipped them in gasoline. I lit them and threw them around the place. Then I got the hell out of there. The whole place went up in smoke about two minutes later.”
