Bauer Review
This report shall contain a review and analysis of the case State v. Bauer as it occurred and transpired in 2014. There will be a summary of the issues of the case, an account of the case, the thoughts of the author of this report when it comes to the case, whether there is a clear understanding of the decision, whether there is agreement when it comes to the decision and what the American public thinks of the system.

Beyond that, he argued that the statute was unfairly vague and thus was not enforceable. After all, the gun was stolen without Bauer's knowledge and he presumably did not know what would happen. However, the state held that this was not an acceptable defense…

When networks are enabled and flourish, their value to all users and to the organization increases as well. That increase in value is typically nonlinear, where some additions yield more than proportionate values to the organization (McCluskey and Korobow, 2009).
