3: the trial Now you are the jury. You hear from the following witnesses. At trial, Parker and Bouviard testify as described in question 1. Parker's doctor also testified that Parker had $20,000 in medical expenses, but that he was experiencing trauma from the experience. The defendants went next. You will not be surprised to learn that the defendants have an entirely different version of events. According to Currier, Parker pulled into the dump site when Currier and Dalton were in the process of unloading debris. They politely asked Parker to wait until they were finished before he pulled up. Parker responded by backing his van up at a high rate of speed, almost hitting Currier and Dalton. They became angry because they were scared. As Currier was moving out of the way of the approaching van, Currier slapped his hand on the van. Parker then got out of the van and words were exchanged between Currier and Parker. Parker called him an idiot and swore at him. Dalton approached Parker, standing close but not touching him, and argued with him. Parker then opened the doors to his van, removed his sunglasses, clenched his fist and challenged Dalton by asking, What are you going to do about it? Both men yelled at each other at which point Currier grabbed Dalton by the arm to pull him away. Currier said to Parker, "who do you think you are, acting like that?" Parker then swung the back door of the van into Dalton's chest; Dalton, who was surprised by this act, pushed it back into Parker. Dalton testified identically to Currier. Based on the testimony, if you were the jury, would you find Currier liable of assault and battery by a preponderance of the evidence? How about Parker? Why? Remember, to find them liable, you as a juror must decide which side was the most credible, and also determine whether each element of assault and battery was met
