Fact Pattern Extra Credit Connie: - Had subjective fear - Self-defense - Vernon: - Attempted simple rape - Battery - Kidnapping (asportation) Vernon may try to argue that Connie had attempted voluntary manslaughter because of him having to be hospitalized due to a hard blow to the head but according to adequate provocation Connie could have countered that by saying Vernon’s actions strongly provoked her to act. Also she could use the self-defense claim because of the acts that happened before it got to the point in which she had to hit him. Connie may also try to claim that she went to go get her gun and shot him due to a “heat of passion” killing but that wouldn’t apply because she was able to get herself together and leave the room in

Unless he is suffering, how can you be sure that he is obeying your will and not his own? Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. ”(336) This quote relates to present time because this theory supports why police officers today assault victims. For example in 1991 Rodney King was brutally beaten by officers.

They enforced coercive, and rational-legal authority over Khalid, in order to torture and harass him, sometimes for their own sadistic pleasure. This is exemplified by the following quote, “A soldier trips Khalid, crashing him to the concrete floor with a violent yell. A familiar pain rips through his side, giving him the sensation that his arms are splintering from their sockets.” This excerpt from the novel conveys the extent to which guards and military personnel abused their power in order to torture and humiliate Khalid. Another instance of abuse of power, is when Khalid misuses his power to freedom, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and stealing from local shops.

This law seems, as well, too harsh. The son should get a punishment but getting your hands cut off for hitting his father would lead to son being scared. In conclusion, Hammurabi 's code is unjust. The evidence shows that the Personal Injury Laws didn’t protect all people equally, the Property Laws punishments were too harsh, and the Family Laws can cause someone 's death.

Montag’s emotions could be clouding his judgement and the way he is processing everything, he may have been thinking irrationally. Montag was justified because he could have been protecting himself. Montag had to burn his own house along with the books he was going to use against the firemen. Beatty also tells montag that he was under arrest after he was done burning his own house down. According to Bradbury, “Beatty said, when your finished you’re under arrest” (Bradbury pg. 111).

There aren’t any justifications for discriminating against others based on their appearance. Johnny and his teammates created offensive stereotypical caricatures of African Americans followed by hateful comments which can’t be ignored. Mike, Adam, and Liam claim to have been joking, however, this isn’t a joking matter. They feel that their first amendment, which is the right to freedom of speech, protects them from any consequences. However, we don’t feel they should be exempt from punishment due to their freedom of speech; their posts were gravely inappropriate and offensive.

Dimmesdale is also affected by the scarlet letter. He too is guilt of adultery since he committed the act with Hester. Because he did not admit his part, he tortured himself mentally and physically. He whips himself with scourges and has vigils that include visions of Hester, Pearl, and the scarlet letter. His health is gradually getting weaker and he believes it is God punishing him for not coming forward with his confession.

For example, as seen in Clarke where the defendant left the supermarket which items she didn’t pay for, the judges ruled that in order to use the defense of insanity, the defendant’s powers of reasoning must be impaired; should he merely failed to use those powers, he wouldn’t be able to use the defense. In Clarke, the defendant was said to be ‘absent-minded’ and thus wasn’t able to use the defense of insanity. Another example can be seen in Kemp where the defendant irrationally attacked his wife with a hammer without any motives. It was later discovered that he was suffering from arteriosclerosis which caused a temporary loss of consciousness at the time of the crime. The defendant didn’t want to use the defense of insanity and instead used the defense of automatism.

Grem the court concludes battery is harmful contact of one person against another, with the intent to act out and harm the person receiving the harmful contact, which leads to direct or indirect results. Grem attacked Agnes from behind, smashing a “rocks glass” into his head, resulting in a permanent scar after his injury was healed. The court ruled in favor of Agnes. It reasoned that Grem clearly acted with intent, as he was behind Agnes when he attacked him, as well as acted with intent to harm, as he smashed a “rocks glass” into Agnes’s skull to result in injury against Agnes. Though Grem acted recklessly in his actions and intent, it was substantially certain that Grem acted with the intent to cause harm towards

Many jurisdictions have also held a landowner criminally liable for serious injuries or homicide caused by a spring gun other set devices. I am in disagreement of the courts decisions. This is protecting the person who is breaking and entering the house unlawfully as opposed to the landowner. In this spring gun trap, the property owner had no idea of what the man breaking into his house could be looking for. This is for the protection of the owner of the house.

The legal issue would be whether Target security is allowed to accuse customers of stealing before having proof. Mr. Johnson could argue that Target security falsely accused him of stealing.
