Assume in the preceding question that Imogene had just arrived in the city from a small farm town and that, after years of hearing news reports and watching reality crime shows on TV, she was unusually apprehensive about being mugged. Imogene would like to introduce evidence of these facts so the jury can consider them during its deliberations concerning her belief as to the necessity of her actions. a. Because the standard to be applied is a purely objective one, evidence of these facts should not be presented to or considered by the jury. b. Because the standard to be applied is a purely subjective one, evidence of these facts should not be presented to or considered by the jury. c. The standard to be applied is neither purely subjective nor purely objective, and particular features of Imogene’s situation (including her knowledge and background) should be relevant. d. The standard to be applied is neither purely subjective nor purely objective, and evidence concerning Imogene’s own knowledge and situation are not relevant.
