Oh, it's significant.

I'm telling you, this is an awful, this is an embarrassing lawsuit to me.

Yeah, I hope this lawyer doesn't find me in the streets.

Sorry, whoever you are out there.

A man and a woman had a verbal disagreement in a public park.

Enraged, the man picked up a rock and threw it at the woman intending to hit her.

The woman who was facing away from the man did not see or hear the rock coming.

The rock missed the woman but struck a tree nearby.

The man has been charged with criminal assault.

Is the man guilty of criminal assault?

A, no, because the woman was not aware of the imminent harmful or offensive conduct.

B, no, because there was no actual physical conduct with the woman.

C, yes, because the man attempted to commit a battery.

D, yes, because the man intended with the intent to cause fear out of imminent bodily harm.

By the way, that's what makes the bar so incredibly complicated because I guarantee you can think every answer could be right.

I am going to give you partial credit because you got the right analysis, but you got the wrong answer.

It is C. You are correct.

So your analysis was flawless.

You were almost good.

Oh, shut up.
