In one case a woman shopping at K-Mart was accused by a security guard, after she walked out of the store, of having put merchandise in her purse. She denied it and opened her purse so he could look in it. He still insisted she took things and told her to come back into the store. Eventually a manager intervened and let her leave. She sued and won 175,000 for false imprisonment. K-Mart appealed. You would expect the court to hold:
 a. that no false imprisonment took place because the store had reasonable suspicion and released her after a short time
  b. that no violation of privacy took place because her person was not touched
  c. that a jury could reasonably have found a false imprisonment in this circumstance d. that jury acted with prejudice against the right of the store to protect its property e. the jury award (175,000) was excessive and had to be cut

Question 2
