    In the court case The People of the State of Colorado v. Sandra L. Jacobson, Jacobson is convicted of homicide. The homicide resulted from her truck colliding with a taxi cab while she was driving under the influence. There were two passengers in the taxi at the time of the collision and both were killed.

A horrible example occurred in Vancouver, when a young couple purchased a house from Robert John Real Estate Co., for $78,000. Three months later, they tried to get a loan on the house, but there was no record of them owning it. Brenda Hill, the young should-be home-owner, went door to door in the subdivision after failing to get in contact with Robert John, and searched…
