If I were on the jury, and you can see the house from the firing line, you "knowingly" shot at it.DontTreadOnMe wrote:That's not what it means.WY_Not wrote:So, you are going to try and say that the shooter did not "know" that the person's house was right in front of them?
2901.22(B)Now, given that. A person shooting into a backstop and the backstop fails and the round goes into a person's house: Did the person knowingly shoot at or into the person's house?(B) A person acts knowingly, regardless of purpose, when the person is aware that the person's conduct will probably cause a certain result or will probably be of a certain nature. A person has knowledge of circumstances when the person is aware that such circumstances probably exist. When knowledge of the existence of a particular fact is an element of an offense, such knowledge is established if a person subjectively believes that there is a high probability of its existence and fails to make inquiry or acts with a conscious purpose to avoid learning the fact.
If the house isn't visible from the firing line, but you have received written, verifiable notice of it being a concern, you "recklessly" shot at it.
If neither of the above apply, you were still "negligent" in shooting his house.
I never get called for jury duty
