Jordan and Riley get into a heated argument outside a bar after last call. Witnesses later report that Jordan appeared intoxicated, agitated, and repeatedly accused Riley of “setting him up earlier in the night.” During the argument, Jordan angrily says, “I’m going to break your jaw tonight. I want you to help me find a good moment to do it.” Jordan then hands Riley a small flashlight and tells Riley to shine it in the victim’s eyes “right when I move in.” Riley initially nods along but later changes his mind and walks away, telling Jordan that he wants no part of it. Jordan mutters that he will “handle it himself.” A few minutes later, Jordan spots Riley’s cousin Sam walking out of the bar. Jordan mistakenly believes Sam is Riley because they are wearing similar jackets. Jordan rushes at Sam with a metal pipe taken from a nearby construction site. Sam jumps backward, startled. Jordan swings the pipe but misses, loses his balance, and falls sideways into a bicyclist riding past on the sidewalk. The bicyclist crashes, breaking an arm and damaging the bike. Sam, confused and believing Jordan might attack him again, tackles Jordan to the ground. During the struggle, Jordan pushes Sam off him. Sam pulls out a pocketknife and cuts Jordan’s hand. Jordan then grabs the pipe again and strikes Sam in the shoulder, causing a serious injury. Jordan is charged with: (1) Solicitation to commit assault with a deadly weapon,(2) Attempted assault with a deadly weapon,(3) Battery causing serious bodily injury (Sam),(4) Battery causing serious bodily injury (bicyclist). Jordan raises self-defense as to the strike on Sam. Discuss all relevant issues.

At 11 p.m. on a cold November night, Dana, age 15, wanders outside after taking a new medication prescribed for severe depression. Her doctor warned that the medication may cause temporary confusion, disorientation, or difficulty recognizing surroundings. Dana becomes turned around on her street and, believing she is returning to her own home, walks into a neighbor’s garage through the open side door. Inside the garage, Dana sees a baseball bat leaning against a toolbox. Convinced she hears “intruders” in what she believes is her own home, she picks up the bat “just to protect herself.” She takes a few steps inside. At that moment, Alex—the homeowner—enters the garage, sees Dana holding the bat, and shouts, “Drop it!” Surprised and frightened, Dana swings the bat and hits Alex in the leg. Alex falls to the ground. Dana immediately drops the bat, apologizes repeatedly, and steps outside once she realizes she is not in her own home. Dana is charged with: (1) Burglary,(2) Assault with a deadly weapon,(3) Battery causing injury. Dana raises infancy, insanity, mistake of fact, and self-defense. Discuss all relevant issues.
