Florence and Michael were married and had worked together in the
Acri Café, which they had jointly managed. For the first 15 years of
their marriage, Michael had been in and out of hospitals for the
treatment of mental disorders. Although he had beaten Florence
when they had marital problems, he had not attacked anyone else.
Last year, Michael and Florence separated, and Michael fully
controlled the day-to-day management of the Café.
A few months after Michael and Florence’s separation, Stephen and
his friend John went to the Acri Café. Without provocation, Michael
shot and killed John and seriously injured Stephen while they were
seated and drinking at the Café.
Stephen wants to sue Michael and Florence for his injuries. Is
Florence responsible for Stephen’s injuries?
