Explain. • Explain the three theories of defense asserted by the defendants. Summarize (in your own words) the court’s response and reasoning to each of these three defenses, focusing especially on why the appellate court found it reasonable that the trial court could have found no merit to the mistake of fact claim by the defendants.• The courts appear to treat the “knowledge” requirement differently depending upon the business and the actor.
