Fill in the gap. Contributory negligence is ______ defense to a criminal charge.
Answer: D
Contributory negligence is no defence to a criminal charge. In the law of tort the plaintiff's own negligence may reduce the damages or defeat the claim, but in criminal law the question is whether the accused committed the offence, so the victim's carelessness does not acquit the accused, though it may bear on the sentence or on whether the act was the cause of the harm. The options genuine, accurate and sharp make no sense in the gap. The answer is no.
