You are a juror in the following case: Jamal has been charged with assault in the second degree. The prosecutor has alleged that on or about the 1st day of January 2020, in the County of Spokane, State of Washington, Jamal intentionally punched and kicked Emily, recklessly inflicting substantial bodily harm. Jamal has plead not guilty. The prosecutor submitted the following evidence: 1. Emily's testimony that during an argument in their shared apartment in the early hours of New Year's Day 2020, Jamal became angry when Emily suggested Jamal had consumed too much alcohol. Emily further testified that Jamal punched Emily twice in the face, resulting in Emily falling to the floor, and that Jamal then kicked Emily once in the chest. Emily testified that Emily has never been violent towards Jamal, and that Jamal has been violent towards Emily several times before. 2. The testimony of the neighbour living in the apartment directly above Jamal and Emily's apartment that they heard voices and screams coming from the apartment below and called the police because they suspected domestic violence, but that they can't be sure who was the aggressor, or what was happening. They testified that they had often heard loud voices coming from Jamal and Emily's apartment, but that they had never suspected violence before. 3. A medical doctor's testimony that Emily had a laceration across Emily's chin, a broken noose, and two broken ribs, and that Jamal had bruising and swelling around Jamal's eye. The doctor testified that all injuries probably occurred on the night in question, and certainly within a few days of that night. 4. The testimony of a police officer that the police forced entry to an apartment in Spokane, Washington in the early hours of New Year's Day 2020 and found Emily laying on the living room floor awake but unable to stand up, and Jamal asleep in the bedroom. The police officer further testified that Jamal's breath had a strong smell of alcohol and that there were many empty alcohol containers in the living room, but that neither Jamal nor Emily appeared obviously intoxicated. Jamal testified and denied the allegations. Jamal said that Emily had punched Jamal in the face unprovoked and that Jamal had hit Emily back, but says it had not caused any visible injure. Jamal denied ever having been violent towards Emily, except in self-defence, and claims that Emily has been violent towards Jamal many times before. To convict the Jamal of the crime of assault in the second degree, each of the following elements of the crime must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt: 1. That on or about the 1st day of January 2020, Jamal intentionally assaulted Emily; 2. That Jamal thereby recklessly inflicted substantial bodily harm on Emily; and 3. That this act occurred in the State of Washington. If you find from the evidence that each of these elements has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, then it will be your duty to return a verdict of guilty. On the other hand, if after weighing all the evidence you have a reasonable doubt as to any one of these elements, then it will be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty. What is your verdict?
