B) Wilson could not be convicted of murder because he intended to hurt her but not kill her, so there was no intent.
C) The fire had a causal connection to Melissa's death, so Wilson was guilty of murder even though she did not immediately die.
D) Foreseeability could not be proven, so the case was remanded to the lower court to be retried.
E) Wilson could not be found guilty of murder because there is a six-month statute of limitations from the act to the death. Anything longer makes the proximate cause too remote.
