General Analysis

Applied Analysis:

5. Jones paid Sullivan, the chief of the Addison Police 7. Department, $6,400 in exchange for Sullivan's coop- eration in allowing Jones and others to bring mari- juana by airplane into the Addison airport without police intervention. Instead of performing the re- quested service, Sullivan arrested Jones. The $6,400 was turned over to the district attorney's office and was introduced into evidence in the subsequent trial in which Jones was tried for and convicted of brib- ery. After his conviction, Jones assigned his alleged claim to the $6,400 to Melvyn Bruder. Based on the assignment, Bruder brought suit against the state of Texas to obtain possession of the money. Will he be successful
