Answer 2

The court will probably find out that Glen is guilty.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hank believes that Glen is responsible for damage to Hank's land on a strict liability theory. Since the term "strict liability" refers to liability regardless of intent, guilt, negligence, imprudence or malpractice, Glen can be found guilty. This is because while it is not possible to tell the animal not to eat the neighbor's grass, Glenn must take responsibility for the damage his animal has caused because of his neglect to maintain poor quality fences that cannot keep the animal on his ground.
