Juniper believed that her boss, Frederico, had cheated her out of overtime pay so she asked her friends,

Chaz and Leila to help her. Chaz, a locksmith, owed $200 to Juniper, and agreed in exchange to have his

debt erased. Leila, a police officer, had been suspicious of Frederico's business dealings, and agreed in

the hopes of finding evidence that could be used against Frederico.

One night, Juniper, Chaz, and Lelia went to Juniper and Frederico's office where Chaz used his locksmith

skills to open the Frederico's locked desk drawer. Once opened, Juniper started looking for confidential

information to use in persuading Frederico to pay her what she thought she was owed. As Juniper

searched through documents, Leila noticed a painting on the wall that had been reported stolen several

months ago. As she walked over to take a closer look, she saw loose cash on the floor in an opened

cardboard box. Thinking it suspicious, Leila stuffed a few bills in her pocket to take back to the station to

investigate. Just then, Frederico came into the office. Furious that Juniper was searching through his

desk, he chased her onto a balcony and pushed her. Juniper fell off the balcony and landed on Marshee,

an elderly woman who was walking on the sidewalk below. Juniper was unharmed but Marshee died

instantly. What crimes or ethical violations, if any, can Juniper, Chaz, Leila, and Frederico be charged

with and was defenses can be reasonably raised by each?
