As Al approached the exit, Carla shouted,“Stop, thief!”Al put the beer on the floor and ran out through the emergency exit.  \nFor a few seconds, Carla considered what to do. Then she ran after Al. In the alley behind the store, she shouted, “Stop or I’ll shoot!”When Al did not stop, Carla fired a warning shot. When Al kept running, Carla took careful aim, shot, and missed. As Al was about to run around a corner, Carla paused, took careful aim, shot again, and killed him.  \n1. Can it be reasonably argued that Beth is guilty of  \na. Theft? Discuss.  \nb. Robbery?
