Explanation:

1. A serious criminal offense punishable by a prison - sentence of more than a year (or in modern reality, two and a half years) is a felony. Misdemeanor is a less serious crime, criminal intent refers to the mental state, and contempt of court is a different type of offense related to disrespecting the court.
2. When judges make decisions to uphold "laws" created by past practice, it is known as common law. Statutes are laws passed by legislative bodies, and the US Constitution is the fundamental law of the United States.
3. Janely was texting while driving, which is a form of distracted driving. Even though the victim was crossing the street illegally, Janely's distracted driving could be considered negligent. She may face charges such as vehicular assault or reckless driving depending on the jurisdiction. Distracted driving is a violation of traffic safety laws and can lead to criminal charges when it causes injury.

Answer:

1. B. Felony

3. Janely may face charges of vehicular assault or reckless driving due to her distracted driving (texting) which led to an injury - causing accident, despite the victim's illegal street - crossing.
