Self-Defense Homework Problem X’s new wristwatch stopped running and she took it to J’s jewelry store to be repaired. J gave X a claim ticket when J accepted the watch. Deeply in debt to numerous bookies, J repaired the watch quickly and placed it in the store window in an effort to sell it. X returned a week later and presented her ticket to redeem the watch. J told her it was not ready yet. Shortly thereafter, J sold the watch to Y. Later that same evening, at her weekly bowling league, X noticed her watch on Y’s wrist, as Y sat at the scoring table on a nearby alley. X rushed up to her and angrily demanded the watch. Concerned because of a previous argument with X, Y began to fumble through her pants pockets for the receipt to prove that she had purchased the watch. X, thinking that Y was reaching for a weapon, struck her on the head with a heavy metal ashtray, causing a serious injury. Can X successfully use self-defense as an affirmative defense in a prosecution? State the elements of self-defense and whether or not X’s actions satisfy those elements.
