When should someone be charged with a crime?
What if the mother tells you that she does not want her daughter charged with a crime? Should the daughter be charged anyway?
What if there are no other witnesses to this battery, and the mother says that she wants her daughter charged, but the daughter denies hitting her mother, should the daughter be charged?
What if the mother wants her daughter charged, the daughter denies hitting her mother, but the daughter's boyfriend was present (and is the only other witness), and he also denies that the daughter hit her mother. However, there is a small scratch on the mother's face. Should the daughter be charged?
What if the mother affirms that she does want her daughter charged with battery, but there is no scratch on her face, there is no mark at all. Should the daughter be charged?
What if the mother pushed the daughter away from her because the daughter was screaming in her face, and then only after that the daughter hit her mother in the face, causing a scratch. Should the daughter be charged?
What if the daughter hit her mother in the face, causing a scratch, and the mother wants her daughter to be charged, but before the daughter hit the mother, the mother was screaming at her calling her a worthless piece of sh%t repeatedly. Should the daughter be charged with a crime?
Would a jury convict this daughter? Would you?
If you were on that jury, where a daughter was being charged with battery because she hit her mother in the face, causing a small scratch, would you be happy that you were picked for that case? Do you want to be the trier of fact in a case like that? Are you happy that you missed one or two days of work to settle that matter?
