Question

Scott is really angry at his friend Rob for having a higher score at playing Angry Birds on their phones. He has always been the best at that game. He sees Rob walking down the street, and he decides to hit him with his car so he can’t play Angry Birds anymore. At the last minute, he changes his mind, but he can’t stop the car in time, and it hits Rob, who ends up getting injured (based on People v. Claborn, 1964).

Answer 1

Yes, he can be convicted of battery.

Even if he changed his mind about killing Rob, he committed injury and needs to be put in jail for it.
