Sondra's Case

Assault (Common Law):

Charge: Sondra struck Belinda on the head with a beer bottle, which constitutes assault.

Outcome: Sondra could be charged with assault given the use of force and resultant serious injury. Common law defines assault as an attempt or threat to cause harm, and the actual causing of harm elevates it to battery.

Defense: Sondra may argue self-defense, as she believed Belinda was reaching for a weapon. However, her use of force must be proportional to the perceived threat.
Modern Law Trends:

Outcome: Assault with a deadly weapon or aggravated battery could be considered, depending on the jurisdiction and the assessment of the perceived threat versus the actual use of force.
Jay's Case

Conversion (Common Law):

Charge: Jay sold Sondra's necklace to Belinda, which is an act of conversion (wrongful possession or control over someone else's property).
Outcome: Jay is liable for conversion since he intentionally exercised control over Sondra's property without consent.
Theft/Fraud (Modern Law):

Charge: By selling the necklace that he did not own, Jay may be charged with theft by unlawful taking or fraud.
Outcome: Likelihood of conviction is high since he knowingly sold stolen goods.
Breach of Bailment:

Jay breached the duty of care he owed under the bailment by selling the bailor's (Sondra's) property.
