  • The Assault Of The Delivery M Regina Vs. Mattachioni

    1409 Words  | 6 Pages

    The two men were originally in argument outside of the buildings by their car but the dispute stopped until they met again in the doors of the restaurant where the complainant, Mr. Humphrey, grabbed the defendant by his coat to move him out of the way, which prompted the defendant to say, “do not touch me.” The facts in this case are fairly indisputable considering that their are many witnesses to the event, and the situation is pretty agreed upon. I see Mr. Humphrey’s action as a provocation of the defendant. They were both fairly heated at this point which makes me believe that Mr. Mattachioni should not be charged with assault causing bodily harm. Both men had mens rea and to a lesser extent, Mr. Humphrey, did too act on his anger and really started the physical altercation.
