Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury...

Undisputed facts:

1. Nathan got into a fight and bloodied up scratched a kid in the face in two areas in pre-preschool today. 
2. Nathan got in big trouble and was put in timeout by the teacher.
3. Spent the next hour kissing up to the teacher.

Issue: Whether Nathan has the mental mindset to know that he got in trouble?  To use the legal vernacular, the issue is whether he exhibits the mens rea to know that his actions were improper.

Let's go to the direct examination.
