It is crucial to our society that a person’s right to privacy is protected and able to be exercised. The Fourth Amendment was created by our Founding Fathers for this exact reason.

Whether the accused individual is guilty of a specific offense can be determined by comparing this person’s actions to the reasonable person standard. As Byrd (2005) explains, under this standard, wrongful actions can become justified because they are not wrongful if provoked. The defendant only lost his/her temper or self-control, just as any reasonable person would (Byrd, 2005). In the State v. Henderson case (2011), the…
