Question:

6. To play a joke on his friend Ethel Rosenberg, Max disguises himself as an FBI agent, comes to Ethel’s door, and tells her that her husband Julius has just been arrested for spying and is about to be executed. In fact, Max knows that Julius has been out fishing all day, and that Ethel has been scared sick worrying about him. She screams and faints, and is extremely anguished for months afterwards. When she recovers, she sues Max for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Max defends on the grounds that Ethel’s distress has not led to any physical illness or injury (a factually correct statement). Will Max’s defense succeed? _________________
