Practice question
A covered accused is charged solely under Section5(f). Evidence establishes an episode of self-harm but affirmatively excludes a purpose of controlling the woman’s actions or decisions, and no other offense is proved. The prosecutor says self-harm alone establishes that mode. What is missing?
- Only a larger household
- The specified controlling purpose
- Only the accused’s salary
- Nothing, because all self-harm is automatically Section5(f)
- Only a former marriage certificate
