Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Campenella's demand lacks consideration under preexisting duty. This is because he was already obligated to investigate the missing child case as part of his job as a detective with the California state police. His discovery of new clues that led to the capture of a serial killer in another case does not constitute new consideration, but rather the fulfillment of his preexisting duty. Therefore, he cannot demand a special reward for it.
