Two old friends, Simon and Garfunkel, were crossing a bridge over troubled water. Half way across the bridge, Simon told Garfunkel that he preferred the sound of silence to Garfunkel's singing. Garfunkel was sensitive about his music and got very upset. Simon could see Garfunkel was getting mad. Simon then said, "really, Garfunkel, what did you do with all that money?"

"What money?" asked Garfunkel.

"The money your mother gave you for singing lessons! Ha. Ha." laughed Simon.

Enraged, Garfunkel shoved Simon very hard. When pushed, Simon lost his footing and fell one hundred feet below into the raging current where he died. Discuss whether the following charges against Garfunkel would be appropriate and why:

• 1^stDegree Murder:
• 2^ndDegree Murder:
• Manslaughter:
