   Badge owned a flower shop in the Perth suburb of Murdoch. On 8 June 2017, Badge was visited in his shop by Doreen, who said she would like to invest in the shop in exchange for a share of the profits. Badge replied that he did not need any further capital for his business, that the profits were only just enough to keep him going as it was, and that therefore he would respectfully decline Doreen’s offer.

    

   At 7 p.m. on the evening of 11 June, a flower-delivery service delivered one-dozen roses to Badge at his home in Bull Creek. Badge accepted the flowers and brought them inside his house. He then read the note attached to the flowers. It said simply “Look out your kitchen window.” Badge’s kitchen window opened out onto the street on which he lived. Badge looked out the kitchen window and saw Doreen standing on the footpath outside his house. She was dialling a mobile phone. Badge’s house phone rang. He answered it. He heard Doreen say “I hope you will reconsider my offer,” and then the call ended. When Badge looked out the window again, but Doreen was gone.

    

   At 7.15 pm on the evening of 12 June, the same flower-delivery service attempted to deliver another dozen roses to Badge’s home. Badge, somewhat shaken, did not open the door. The delivery service left the roses on Badge’s doorstep and drove off. Badge went to his kitchen window and looked out. He saw Doreen standing on the footpath outside his house. She was dialling a mobile phone. Badge’s house phone rang. He answered it, all the while keeping his eye on Doreen. He heard Doreen say “Duck!” and then he saw her throw a brick at his kitchen window. The brick struck the window about 150 cms from Badge’s head, but shards of glass where shattered in his direction. One cut his carotid artery and others lacerated his forehead and pierced his right eye.

    

   Largely blinded by the wound to his eye and the blood pouring from his forehead, Badge ran from his house, seeking help. Clutching his throat, he careened out onto the road and was struck by a bus. The impact killed him, though an autopsy indicated that he would have died from loss of blood in another 30 minutes had the glass-wounds to his head and throat not been treated.

    

   Assume that the facts as stated above can all be proved. Discuss whether or not Doreen committed an offence under each of the following sections of the WA Criminal Code: ss. 279, 280, 281, 297, 304, 313, 317, 338A, and 338E.

    

   You are not required to discuss the sections of the Criminal Code in the numerical order that it has been listed above. Arrange your discussion of them in an order that flows logically. However, your discussion of each section of the Criminal Code must have its own heading. That heading is to consist solely of the section number of the Code being discussed.
