You are a juror in the following case: Emily 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, Emily intentionally punched and kicked Jamal, recklessly inflicting substantial bodily harm. Emily has plead not guilty. The prosecutor submitted the following evidence: 1. Jamal's testimony that during an argument in their shared apartment in the early hours of New Year's Day 2020, Emily became angry when Jamal suggested Emily had consumed too much alcohol. Jamal further testified that Emily punched Jamal twice in the face, resulting in Jamal falling to the floor, and that Emily then kicked Jamal once in the chest. Jamal testified that Jamal has never been violent towards Emily, and that Emily has been violent towards Jamal several times before. 2. The testimony of the neighbour living in the apartment directly above Emily and Jamal'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 Emily and Jamal's apartment, but that they had never suspected violence before. 3. A medical doctor's testimony that Jamal had a laceration across Jamal's chin, a broken noose, and two broken ribs, and that Emily had bruising and swelling around Emily'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 Jamal laying on the living room floor awake but unable to stand up, and Emily asleep in the bedroom. The police officer further testified that Emily's breath had a strong smell of alcohol and that there were many empty alcohol containers in the living room, but that neither Emily nor Jamal appeared obviously intoxicated. Emily testified and denied the allegations. Emily said that Jamal had punched Emily in the face unprovoked and that Emily had hit Jamal back, but says it had not caused any visible injure. Emily denied ever having been violent towards Jamal, except in self-defence, and claims that Jamal has been violent towards Emily many times before. To convict the Emily 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, Emily intentionally assaulted Jamal; 2. That Emily thereby recklessly inflicted substantial bodily harm on Jamal; 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?
