    The other comments are joking, but I bet a “serious” (legally, not realistically) that the defendant didn’t know if it was safe or not. Maybe the water had some dangerous chemicals in it? We all know that the argument would be bullshit, but I would bet that’s what they’d say. Or a potential alternative would be that the intent was to have her fall and get hurt, or something like that.

      But it was from a hose. From the account it sounds like he asked her to move, she didn’t, so he sprayed her a bit.

      Even in her own admission she says she thinks it was intentional, which means that it could have also been accidental.

      The correct response to a neighbor spraying you with a hose is to go inside and wipe off, not file a police report.

        I’m not talking about the “correct” response. I said it wouldn’t be a reasonable argument. I was talking about the argument that will be made in court. It’ll be bullshit, but I bet it’ll be something along the lines I said above.
