Question:
Leonard opposes new federal legislation; the law was sponsored by Senator Smith and affects abortion rights. [What the legislation is, or whether it is "pro-life" or "pro-choice" based, is irrelevant to this fact pattern.] As part of his efforts to get the law repealed, Leonard writes so-called op-ed pieces, campaigns for political candidates who oppose the statute, and speaks at rallies. At one rally, held a half mile from Senator Smith's house, Leonard delivers especially incendiary remarks, including the line "We should march down to Senator Smith's house right now, breach the gate, and push our way into his house and show him we mean business!" Immediately thereafter Leonard led a group of the protestors to the Senator's house and quickly overwhelmed security and broke into the residence. When the Senator came to confront the protestors in his living room, Leonard said "Get the bastard!" Leonard watched as other protestors badly beat Senator Smith.
If Leonard is prosecuted for inciting a riot, then what is the proper result of that prosecution? Explain.
