question

The defendant, who was walking on a public street, got into a heated argument with a stranger who had been singing and shouting obscenities while walking near him. The defendant pulled a large serrated hunting knife and stabbed the victim in the chest, killing him. The authorities charged defendant with murder. The defendant argued at trial that he only intended to scare the victim to shut him up, and that he did not have the intent to kill. Is the defendant guilty of murder?

  4. No, defendant was trying to protect himself from the victim's aggressive behavior.
  5. No, defendant was in a heated argument and his judgement was clouded, so he didn't have the intent to kill.
  6. No, defendant responded to the victim's provocation and did not intend to kill.
  7. No, he acted on the spur of the moment and could not have formed the requisite intent.
