re: #468 Coracle

Back in the cannibal thread, someone posted the legal definition of assault in CA. It required intent to do physical harm. Battery is success at doing physical harm. Rice did assault and battery. Before that, biter did neither. Got it.

No ,assault is creating apprehension of physical harm.
It is the ordinary reasonable man standard. Would the ordinary, reasonable man have felt in danger. You can’t twist century’s of common law.
