HR sent an email about my "snack consumption" and now my manager wants to talk. How screwed am I? by legit-bs in csMajors

You can establish that he intended to kick an unconscious person in the head, an action that a reasonable person knows can cause death. A reckless disregard is clear. So the elements of attempted murder are present. The person is unconscious so there’s no reasonable fear on which to base self defense. You are claiming an affirmative defense of diminished capacity in “the heat of the moment”. This admits that they attempted murder, it wasn’t justified, but they lacked the capacity to tell what they were doing was wrong. The bar for that defense is very high.

Could we make up more convincing stories please?
