Barney and Marshall entered into a "slap bet," which Marshall won. This means that Marshall has 5 slaps that he can use against Barney at any time. One Thanksgiving, Marshall decides to use one of his slaps, and takes it a step further by re-naming it "Slapsgiving" and sending Barney a link to a count- down to when the slap will occur. Then on Thanksgiving day when they are all eating dinner, Marshall turns on the countdown and when it reaches 0, he slaps Barney. Disregard any defenses that Marshall might have, including consent. For which of the following torts could Marshall be found liable? Assault only Battery only Neither assault nor attery Both assault and battery
