NATURAL DEDUCTION

  1. Construct a proof that reveals the validity of the following inference. Make sure that you symbolize it first.

Tom was involved in the fight at the party Friday and stole money from Monica’s purse later that same night. The parole officer had told me that if he was involved in the fight then he’d have to go back to the rehab clinic and the social worker told me that if he stole the money then control over his savings account is going to be turned over to a representative from the office of juvenile corrections. Well, it follows that Tom is going back into rehab and he’s going to lose control over his savings.
