Is Dan Guilty of MURDR!
" #urder is a killing by one hu#an being by another with #alice aforethought$ one way
to estabish such #alice is through intent to inflict seriously bodily in%ury.
&ere, Dan is sitting in a car with the window rolled down and Dan walks up to the car
and punches victors head, which can show intent because his punch was a volitional
voluntary act. Dan punches victors head which shows infliction of serious bodily har#
because it was an in%ury that create a substantial risk of death.
Dan will argue his intent was not to cause serious bodily in%ury %ust to cause a touching,
and that the e'isting evidence does not show his sub%ective intent to cause serious
har#.
(hile further investigation about things such as the force used to hit Victor, the a#ount
of strength Dan has, or Victor)s si*e co#pared to Dan)s si*e #ay help to show intent to
cause serious bodily har#, at the present a#ount of facts there is too little evidence to
shows Dan)s intent.
+herefore he is not guilty of #urder.
Dan)s running away after punching hi# can further show intent becuase he #ost
reasonably ran away because he know he %ust inflicted bodily har#$ the i#portance of
running away to establish intent can be co#pared to the fact that he only walked up to
the car before punching hi# which can show before punching hi# there was no reason
to be running. +herefore it is likely Dan e'hibited #alice which shows he is guilty of
co##on law #urder.
