I agree that Hogan' s actions resulted in grievous injury to Winters  And I do not deny that Hogan fully realized the nature of his actions and the effects that they would have  Indeed, I would not disagree if you pointed out that intentionally causing such effects is reprehensible, other things being equal
But in asking you to concur with me that Hogan' s actions not be wholly condemned I emphasize again that Hogan mistakenly believed Winters to be the robber who had been terrorizing west-side apartment buildings for the past several months
The robber who had been terrorizing west-side apartment buildings should be considered to be as responsible for Winters's injuries as Hogan.
