Cоnsider the fоllоwing sаmple legаl аnalysis of this question. In light of this model answer, briefly draft several sentences reflecting on the strengths and weaknesses of your analysis above. Issue and Conclusion. The first issue is whether Alex can establish the elements of assault against Brian. He very likely can, at least as to the second flaming knife. Rule. An actor is subject to liability for assault if (a) he acts intending to cause in another an imminent apprehension of a harmful or offensive contact, and (b) the other is thereby put in such imminent apprehension. The apprehension must be of the type normally aroused in the mind of a reasonable person. A person acts intentionally if he acts with the purpose of producing the consequence or knowing that the consequence is substantially certain to result. Actual apprehension. Alex's apprehension is easiest to establish as to the second knife. By that point Alex had heard Brian announce to the crowd that he would throw flaming knives around Alex's body; he had heard the first knife strike the board just above his shoulder and felt its heat; he had been told to hold still "or else he might get hit"; and he had listened to Brian catalogue what a flaming knife would do to his eye, his ear, and his heart. His flight the moment the second knife landed is strong evidence that he in fact believed a knife was about to strike him. Imminence. Brian will argue that a blindfolded person can never apprehend an imminent contact, because he cannot see the knife coming and so cannot know when—or whether—any particular throw is happening. That argument cuts the other way. Precisely because Alex could not see, and had been warned not to move, he had reason to believe a knife could be released at any instant and no way to time or avoid it. Reasonableness. A reasonable person in Alex's position—blindfolded, arms extended, listening to knives strike the board inches away—would apprehend harmful contact. Brian may point to his standing as a well-known performer, but Alex is one of several hundred people in a tourist plaza and need not know Brian's reputation. More damaging to Brian, he himself introduced the idea of the trick failing by describing the injuries in graphic detail, which is not how a performer projects confidence. Intent. Brian will argue that his purpose was to entertain the crowd, not to frighten Alex. That fails on the substantial-certainty branch. After the first throw, Brian mocked Alex for being nervous, and then told him he might be struck by the next knife. Whatever his purpose, Brian knew to a substantial certainty that Alex apprehended imminent harmful contact when the second knife was released. Case comparison. In Picard, a jury found assault where the defendant angrily pointed a finger at the plaintiff and yelled. The apprehension here is far more reasonable: the instrument is a flaming knife rather than a finger, the plaintiff is blindfolded and immobilized rather than free to retreat, and the threat is verbally reinforced. Counter-argument. The strongest counter is factual. We do not know how much Alex understood of Brian's announcement, or whether his "What was that!" reflected fear of contact to himself rather than generalized alarm at a loud noise. We also do not know how quickly the second knife followed the taunting, which matters to imminence. And a fact-finder might think that a volunteer who steps forward at a busy plaza performance, in front of hundreds of people, does not reasonably believe a professional will actually hit him—that the fear he feels is the pleasurable fear of a show, not apprehension of contact. The response is that Alex's flight and subsequent panic attacks are hard to square with mere showmanship-fear.
