Question:

25. Drug Lord is in the business of selling crack. He has heard rumors in the neighborhood that a man nicknamed Scarecrow is a hit man for a rival drug gang, and that Scarecrow has been given a contract on Drug Lord’s life. As Drug Lord is finishing a sale of crack one day, he sees Scarecrow come up to him and draw and aim his pistol at Drug Lord. As Scarecrow is about to say something, Drug Lord shoots him in the hand to disable him. Scarecrow turns out to be an undercover police officer, who wanted to arrest Drug Lord (an arrest which would have been legal in the circumstances). Has Drug Lord committed battery against Scarecrow? _________________
