Write me a multi-section memorandum from the following information:
On May 2, 2018, an incident took place at Sunnyville High School involving three high school students. Eighteen year-old senior Kayleigh Cyprus threw a cell phone at her classmate Helena Lopez and ended up hitting another student, Jack Saffron in his right eye. As a result, Jack Saffron lost permanent vision in his right eye. The incident took place in Sunnyville's cafeteria at approximately 12:30 p.m., the school's lunch hour. Initially, Kayleigh approached Helena in the cafeteria and accused her of sending text messages to her boyfriend, Rick Jonas. Helena, who was sitting at a table with several other students, denied that she had texted Rick. Kayleigh grabbed Helena's phone, which had been on the lunch table and began to review her text messages. Kayleigh saw three messages that Helena had sent to Rick. She read the messages aloud. As she was reading the messages, Helena screamed, "Give me my phone back, you pathetic loser!" Helena continued to scream that she wanted her phone back. In response, Kayleigh stopped reading the text messages, glared at Helena, stated, "You want it back? Here!" and then threw the phone in Helena's direction. Helena screamed and ducked out of the way. Jack, who was sitting next to Helena, turned his head in Kayleigh's direction to see what had happened. The phone hit him in the right eye. Jack immediately dropped to the ground and started screaming that she had "blinded" him. School officials called an ambulance and he was taken to the emergency room. Despite several surgeries, Jack has not regained vision in his right eye. Kayleigh has been charged with assault with respect to Jack only pursuant to A.R.S. section 13-203(B)(1) and has sought our counsel. Your supervising attorney, Lucy Lawyer, wants you to prepare a brief memo stating whether the Superior Court will find that she committed assault with respect to Jack pursuant to A.R.S. section 13-203(B)(1) and State v. Ramirez.
A.R.S. s 13-1203 Arizona Revised Statutes Annotated Title 13. Criminal Code Chapter 12. Assault s 13-1203. Assault A. A person commits assault by: 1. Intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causing any physical injury to another person; or 2. Intentionally placing another person in reasonable apprehension of imminent physical injury; or 3. Knowingly touching another person with the intent to injure, insult or provoke such person.
A.R.S. s 13-203 B. If intentionally causing a particular result is an element of an offense, and the actual result is not within the intention or contemplation of the person, that element is established if: 1. The actual result differs from that intended or contemplated only in the respect that a different person is injured.
